Will Levis could remain with the Tennessee Titans longer than expected after a tumultuous stretch in his career, including losing the starting job in 2024, a 2025 backup role behind Cam Ward, and AC joint shoulder surgery that sidelined him for an entire season. Despite uncertainty, recent developments suggest a potential fresh start with the Titans: Levis has begun throwing again, and Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has publicly praised his readiness and versatility. This shift, plus the lack of significant trade value while coming off surgery, makes a mid-to-late preseason impact more likely than an early offseason move. As a result, Levis may spend the upcoming season as a backup on his rookie contract, with a potential long-term role contingent on his performance in a reported fresh start and the quarterback coaching environment.
Key takeaways:
– Levis remains with the Titans, with discussions of a longer stay than initially anticipated.
– Shoulder surgery and a delayed return tempered expectations for an immediate trade or full-time starting role.
– Recent comments from Titans staff indicate a favorable reintegration, increasing the likelihood of a late- preseason evaluation rather than a swift exit.
– His future hinges on performance after rehab and the value offered in any trade market.
