Titans executive Chad Brinker refuted a recent report that the team was engaging in talks to trade quarterback Will Levis
“That’s a false report,” said Brinker, the team’s president of football operations (via senior team reporter Jim Wyatt). “We have not contacted anybody, and nobody has contacted us, about Will Levis.”
Levis was the Titans’ second-round pick in 2023 and took over as the team’s starting quarterback midway through his rookie year. In 2024, he made 12 starts, missing three games in the middle of the season due to injury and splitting time with Mason Rudolph to end the season. The Titans were interested in re-signing Rudolph, according to Wyatt, but he opted to return to Pittsburgh instead.
Rather than dealing Levis, the Titans see him as a potential starter in 2025, even if they were to use one of their top draft picks on a quarterback.
“The plan with Will Levis is he has a chance to compete for a starting job next year,” said Brinker. Even if he doesn’t win the job, his youth, athleticism, and familiarity with the Titans offense will likely keep him in place as a backup.
Brinker added that the team would prefer to have four quarterbacks heading into training camp. Currently, they have three: Levis, Brandon Allen, and Tim Boyle, the latter two of whom were signed to one-year deals in free agency. Brinker came up in a Packers organization that frequently had four quarterbacks in training camp, per Main Street Media’s Terry McCormick.
Brinker’s comments further indicate that the Titans will draft Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 pick, giving the team their fourth quarterback who can enter training camp competing with Levis for the starting job.
