Stelle Hooker needed just two words to greet her husband’s next NFL stop. When the Buffalo Bills landed safety Amani Hooker in a deal with the Tennessee Titans ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline, she shared the league’s announcement on her Instagram Story and wrote, “Hellooo NY!” She added a praying hands emoji and a white heart.
The deal gives Amani his first change of teams since Tennessee made him a fourth-round pick in 2019, NYPost reports. Buffalo sent a 2027 second-round selection to the Titans and got Hooker and a fifth-rounder in the same draft.
The move also marks a change for the Hooker family. Amani and Stelle got engaged two years before marrying in May 2025, and they have a daughter together.
