The Titans are officially cutting ties with quarterback Will Levis, waiving the 27-year-old signal-caller after a bumpy few years in Tennessee. This isn’t just a minor roster move, folks. This is a complete reset for a guy they had real hopes for, and it speaks volumes about where that QB room is headed.
The Levis Rollercoaster Hits the Skids
Remember when the Titans traded up in the 2023 draft, snagging Levis with the first pick of the second round? The team was banking on him to step in after Ryan Tannehill, to be their future. He got his chance, starting as their main guy in 2024. But man, it was a tough run. Over 21 games, Levis managed a 5-16 record. The stats weren’t pretty either, with 21 touchdowns thrown against 16 interceptions, and he lost 10 fumbles. You gotta wonder what was going on there. Three different head coaches during his tenure certainly didn’t help him find any stability. That kind of turnover is brutal for a young QB trying to develop.
New Faces, New Direction For Titans’ QB Room
The writing really started to appear on the wall in 2025. That’s when the Titans went out and drafted Cam Ward, effectively signalling a change in direction. Levis then spent all of last season on injured reserve after undergoing season-ending surgery on his throwing shoulder to fix an AC joint issue. That’s a serious injury for any quarterback, let alone one trying to establish himself. Now, with Levis out of the picture, the Titans’ quarterback depth chart features Ward, with Mitchell Trubisky and Hendon Hooker backing him up. It’s a completely different look for them.
This move clears the deck for the Titans, but it also highlights how quickly things can go sideways in the NFL for a promising draft pick. Levis is now a free agent looking for a new home, trying to get healthy and restart his career. You know the whole league is watching to see what happens next for the former second-round talent and if another team takes a chance on him.
