The Tennessee Titans haven't officially named Cam Ward as their starting quarterback, but it's clear that he's the future at the position. Plus, the team didn't bring in veteran competition to the position.
Will Levis was a second-round pick just two years ago, but it's clear that he doesn't have much of a future in Tennessee. He could be a high-end backup to Ward, but the Titans may rather try to get some value from him this offseason.
Pro Football Network put together a list of the top cut and trade candidates for every NFL team this offseason, and Levis was the name they picked for the Titans.
"Now, Levis is in an awkward position as the ostensible QB2 on the Titans’ depth chart," PFN wrote. "Given how last year went, it’s unclear if Callahan would be willing to trust Levis to fill in for any period of time if needed. Even if Tennessee doesn’t fully trust Brandon Allen as its top backup, other options like Carson Wentz and Tyler Huntley have spent more time in the backup role.
"A fresh start would be helpful for both sides. Mike Vrabel was the Titans coach when the franchise drafted Levis, and the New England Patriots’ current backup behind Drake Maye is journeyman Joshua Dobbs. In addition, Levis’ collegiate offensive coordinator was Liam Coen, and the Jaguars’ current backup QB is Nick Mullens. Either could be an opportunity for Levis to start over with a familiar coaching staff."
Even if Levis shows that he still has some potential, that would only cause unnecessary drama for the Titans. It might be best to move on from him sooner rather than later.
