Tennessee Titans Part Ways With Quarterback Will Levis

The Tennessee Titans have officially parted ways with quarterback Will Levis, releasing the former starter as the team continues to reshape its roster. The decision marks the end of a tenure that began with high expectations following the franchise's aggressive move to acquire him in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Levis, who was selected with the 33rd overall pick after a trade involving multiple draft assets, spent his final season with the organization on injured reserve. After electing to undergo surgery on his right shoulder prior to the start of the 2025 campaign, he remained sidelined for the duration of the year.

A Challenging Tenure in Nashville

The quarterback's time in Tennessee was defined by significant fluctuations in performance and availability. During the 2024 season, his last active year on the field, Levis recorded 2,091 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. The team struggled during that period, finishing with a 3-14 record, which ultimately granted the Titans the top overall selection in the following draft, used to select quarterback Cam Ward.

Levis first made an impact during his debut start on October 29, 2023, leading the Titans to a 28-23 victory over the Atlanta Falcons by completing 19 of 29 passes for 238 yards and four touchdowns. Despite that promising start, he finished his rookie season with a 3-6 record as a starter and later oversaw a 2-10 stretch during the 2024 campaign.

Transitioning the Quarterback Room

With Levis sidelined, the Titans pivoted toward veteran leadership to support their new starter, Cam Ward. The team signed Mitchell Trubisky to a two-year, $10.5 million contract, bringing in a player familiar with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s system from their time together with the Buffalo Bills. Trubisky served as the primary backup throughout the most recent training camp.

Reflecting on his departure, Levis expressed appreciation for his time with the organization. He noted his gratitude toward team owner Amy Adams-Strunk and the Nashville community, stating that he grew significantly during his time with the franchise and values the experience he gained.
