The New England Patriots added to their linebacking corps on Tuesday in a trade with the Tennessee Titans for Akeem Ayers, NFL.com reported.

The deal, which is contingent upon Ayers passing a physical, includes the Patriots giving up a sixth-round draft choice to the Titans for Ayers and Tennessee’s seventh-round pick.

Ayers, 25, had two knee surgeries during the offseason and was active in just two games and played only 10 snaps for the Titans this season. He also struggled in 2013, finishing the season with only 49 tackles and a sack after posting 104 tackles and six sacks in 2012.

The Patriots desperately need linebacker help after losing Jerod Mayo for the season with a knee injury.
