Nashville, TN – June 23, 2025
In a stunning twist that has sent shockwaves through the Tennessee Titans fanbase, quarterback Will Levis has finally broken his silence regarding his future with the franchise. This comes just days after Titans head coach Brian Callahan made eyebrow-raising comments that strongly hinted at rookie sensation Cam Ward being groomed as the future face of the organization.
Speaking to local reporters after Monday’s OTA session, Levis didn’t hold back. When asked about his position on the depth chart following Ward’s impressive offseason rise, Levis delivered a shocking and brutally honest response:
“I’m a competitor. I came here to start and win. But after recent talks with Coach Callahan and GM Mike Borgonzi, I have to be real with myself. Right now, this team is fully invested in Cam. I respect that, but it’s also clear I’ll have to explore my options if I want to be a starter in this league.”
Levis’ candid admission comes just days after Coach Callahan openly praised Cam Ward during a press conference, calling the rookie “a dynamic, natural leader with star potential” and stating that Ward has been “everything we hoped for and more” since the start of minicamp.
Behind the scenes, sources within the Titans’ front office have revealed that Levis has already instructed his representatives to quietly gauge interest from quarterback-needy teams around the league. Several insiders have linked Levis to potential landing spots including the Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos, and New York Giants — all franchises currently unsettled at the QB position.
The tension between Levis and the Titans has been building ever since the franchise used the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to select Cam Ward, despite previously labeling Levis as “the quarterback of the future” just a season ago.
Now, the writing appears to be on the wall.
“I love Nashville. I love this organization. But I didn’t come here to hold a clipboard. Wherever my next step takes me, I’ll be ready,” Levis said, signaling that a trade request could be imminent if the Titans formally name Ward the Week 1 starter.
The Titans’ brass have yet to officially name their starting quarterback, but with the odds heavily favoring Cam Ward after his electrifying performances in OTAs, it seems only a matter of time before the decision becomes public.
As for Will Levis, his Titans future now hangs in the balance — and if his recent words are any indication, a blockbuster move could be on the horizon.
Stay tuned.
