Titans to waive QB Will Levis
The Titans are waiving quarterback Will Levis, Paul Kuharsky of paulkuharsky.com reports. Levis’ departure leaves Mitchell Trubisky and Hendon Hooker behind Cam Ward. The Titans traded up to take the Kentucky quarterback with the first pick of the second round in 2023. The team had hoped he would succeed Ryan Tannehill, but three different head coaches didn’t help his development. He served as the Titans’ starting quarterback in 2024, but Tennessee drafted Ward in 2025, and Levis spent the season on injured reserve. Levis missed all of last season after undergoing season-ending surgery on his throwing shoulder to fix the AC joint. Levis, 27, started 21 games, going 5-16 while throwing 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions and losing 10 fumbles

2026 Season Outlook

Hooker spent time on the Panthers' and Jets' practice squads in 2025 after being cut by Detroit during the preseason, and he was elevated in a backup capacity by New York down the stretch. Now, Hooker will compete for opportunities in a crowded Titans quarterback room that features Mitchell Trubisky as the No. 2 option behind Cam Ward, in addition to incumbent holdover Will Levis. If Tennessee moves on from Levis, Hooker's dual-threat abilities could earn him the No. 3 gig

The Titans should still trade Will Levis this offseason
The Tennessee Titans are about midway through their Organized Team Activities (OTAs). Practice is totally voluntary, and some veteran Titans players have been non participants. One of the absentees is veteran backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky . Trubisky’s absence has led to more opportunities for Will Levis and Hendon Hooker behind Cam Ward . Despite that, Levis hasn’t seemingly done enough to take full advantage of Trubisky’s no-show. Only two of six OTA practices have been open so far, but it was disappointing to hear Levis threw two interceptions at Friday’s practice , including a terrible pick-six for DT Solomon Thomas on a busted screen pass. The Titans should still strongly consider trading Levis this offseason. Mike Borgonzi probably isn’t in a rush to decide Levis’ fate. Waiting for an offseason injury at quarterback, or choosing to feature the young quarterback in training camp and the preseason, could lead to more league-wide interest. Levis is in the final year of his rookie contract. He flashed as a rookie in 2023, was wildly disappointing as the starter in 2024, and skipped his third season (2025) after the team drafted Ward, opting to undergo season-ending offseason surgery on a previously injured shoulder. The Titans didn’t have a fifth-year contract option on Levis, who was a second-round pick. They would have declined it anyway. Contrary to some Titans’ fans beliefs, there’s no realistic path for Levis to dethrone Trubisky as the backup quarterback (outside of injury). The Titans signed Trubisky to a two-year, $10.5 million contract. That’s backup quarterback money. He also previously played for new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll in Buffalo and is a better fit to help Ward learn the new offense. Levis is also probably disinterested in staying with the Titans. His 2024 misfire came with severe backlash from the fanbase and the Titans are on their third head coach since drafting him. It may be a slow-playing process, but Levis is still likely to be traded (or released) by the Titans this offseason

Hendon Hooker - Headed to Tennessee
sleeper-rotowireSource unavailable
Hooker is in line to sign with the Titans, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Hooker, who last saw regular-season snaps with the Lions in 2024, joins a crowded Titans QB room that currently also includes Cam Ward, Mitchell Trubisky and Will Levis. The 2023 third-rounder adds a dual-threat presence to the group, and his addition could foreshadow the team moving on from Levis down the road

Hooker reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Hooker was elevated to serve as the team's backup quarterback behind Brady Cook in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots, ultimately not appearing in the contest. If Tyrod Taylor (knee/personal) remains sidelined in Week 18, Hooker would likely be elevated again for the team's final regular-season contest in Buffalo
