Titans waive QB Levis, sources say
Titans waive QB Will Levis, sources say, ending his tenure with the team after three seasons.
The update
The Tennessee Titans are waiving quarterback Will Levis, sources told ESPN and NFL Network. This move comes as the team makes final roster cuts ahead of the season. Levis was selected by the Titans in the second round of the 2023 draft and had been competing for a backup role behind starter Cam Ward.
Why it matters
This represents a significant shift in Tennessee’s quarterback room. The Titans traded multiple picks to acquire Levis three years ago with hopes he would become the successor to Ryan Tannehill. However, his tenure was marked by inconsistency and injuries, including missing the entire 2025 season after shoulder surgery. With veteran Mitchell Trubisky now firmly established as the primary backup, the team appears to be moving in a different direction.
What to watch
Teams around the league may be interested in claiming Levis off waivers, though his future in the NFL remains uncertain. The Titans’ decision suggests they’re fully committed to their new quarterback room with Ward as the starter and Trubisky as the experienced backup.
