NFL News: Titans executive makes a strong decision on Will Levis’ future with the franchise

The Tennessee Titans are making several adjustments to ensure that the 2025 season isn’t as disappointing as last year, where they struggled with a dreadful offense, including Will Levis, who threw a significant number of interceptions and few touchdowns. However, the franchise has reportedly made a strong decision regarding his future.

According to recent statements by Titans President of Football Operations Chad Brinker in an interview with Jim Wyatt Sports, Levis’ future with the team appears to be sealed, with the young quarterback set to compete for a starting spot in the 2025 NFL season. Brinker also made it clear that no other team has shown interest in Levis.

“That’s a false report. We have not contacted anybody, and nobody has contacted us about Will Levis… The plan with Will Levis is that he has a chance to compete for a starting job next year, just like every player on our roster. It’s no different for Will,” Brinker stated.

Brinker was clear that Levis will likely start the preseason, and possibly the regular season, with the Titans. “I see him in our facility, he’s working hard. Everybody knows he’s a great kid, he’s a hard worker, and he’s going to give it everything he has. We’re going to continue to work with Will Levis.”

The 2024 disaster for Will Levis

Many had predicted that Will Levis would leave after the 2024 season, especially after his disappointing performance: just 13 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, and 2,091 yards—figures that were far from impressive. However, the Titans’ offense, ranked 27th out of 32 teams in the NFL, also struggled mightily last season.

Levis has been with the Titans for two years but has yet to prove himself as a strong quarterback for the team in dire need of one. His mistakes, including some viral ones, were heavily criticized, and the head coach was forced to address them in multiple press conferences, stating that he had spoken “strongly” with Levis about his issues.

Does Levis still have a contract with the Titans?

Yes, officially Levis still has a contract with the Titans through 2026. They still owe him a total of $5.6 million. In 2025, Levis is expected to earn a salary of $2.6 million, with a slight increase to just over $3 million in the final year of his 4-year contract, which is valued at $9.5 million.
