Nashville, TN – June 2, 2025
Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has officially restructured his four-year contract with the team, reaffirming his commitment to the franchise while creating additional financial flexibility for the organization. The revised deal, which still runs through the 2026 season, is valued at $10,542,165, including a $3,939,756 signing bonus and $8,731,080 in guaranteed money. Levis’s average annual salary under the new structure stands at $2,385,541.
The restructuring of the contract is a strategic move, commonly used by NFL teams to create salary cap space in the short term, especially when preparing to reinforce the roster during free agency or manage upcoming extensions for key players. While the total value of Levis’s deal remains unchanged, the restructured agreement likely shifts a portion of his base salary into bonuses, allowing the Titans to spread out the cap hit over multiple years.
According to sources close to the team, the move comes as Tennessee aims to remain financially agile heading into a pivotal season. With a new offensive scheme under head coach Brian Callahan, and the addition of several offensive weapons, the Titans are positioning themselves for a competitive run in the AFC South.
Titans General Manager Ran Carthon praised Levis for his team-first attitude, stating, “Will has been a professional in every sense. He understands the big picture and wants to win. This restructure helps us put the best possible team around him, and it shows the kind of leader he is becoming.”
Levis, the former Kentucky standout and 2023 second-round pick, stepped into the spotlight during his rookie year, showing flashes of promise despite a turbulent season. With two years remaining on his contract, the restructure doesn’t alter the length of the deal but instead demonstrates mutual trust between the young quarterback and the Titans’ front office.
Speaking on the decision, Levis commented, “My goal has always been to win here in Tennessee. If restructuring my deal helps us get closer to that goal, I’m all in. I’m excited about the direction we’re headed.”
The Titans’ cap room freed up by this move could now be used to pursue depth on the offensive line, add veteran defensive help, or extend other key contributors ahead of training camp.
With Will Levis now firmly entrenched as the starting quarterback and a roster being built around him, all eyes will be on Nashville as the Titans aim to take a leap forward in the 2025 NFL season.
