As the Titans zero in on drafting Cam Ward with the No. 1 pick in April’s NFL Draft, Will Levis’s position within the organization has grown increasingly uncertain. After two underwhelming seasons—marked by a combined 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions over 20 games—Levis struggled to earn the trust of Tennessee’s coaching staff .
When GM Mike Borgonzi and President Chad Brinker were pressed about trade rumors, they firmly denied any active discussions. Brinker emphasized that Levis “has a chance to compete for a starting job next year,” explaining that “we have not contacted anybody, and nobody has contacted us, about Will Levis”. Borgonzi echoed a similar stance, describing the quarterback room as “packed” but open: Levis will have a shot to earn reps heading into training camp alongside Ward and veterans Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle .
Still, outside speculation is rampant. Sports Illustrated’s Jared Koch cites analysis suggesting Levis could be a trade chip for a mid-round pick, given his contract value and developmental upside . ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler notes that while Levis isn’t drawing major trade buzz yet, that could shift as the draft approaches . Meanwhile, media outlets and fans are fixated on how the competition will unfold—and whether Levis will be moved if Ward proves the long-term solution.
In essence, while the Titans have publicly dismissed immediate trade plans, Levis now rides a precarious line: he’ll battle for the backup role, but a strong performance from Ward—or a compelling trade offer—could force Tennessee’s hand as the season nears.
