Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has been the center of a lot of talk on social media in recent days.
No, he didn’t do another mayonnaise commercial, but trade speculation has been everywhere.
The Titans have been clear: Levis will be given an opportunity to compete for the starting job no matter what direction the team decides to take to bolster their quarterback room. Now, that doesn’t mean that he isn’t available in a trade scenario, it just means that the Titans are not ready to move on from the signal caller at this point.

The trade talk started when Josina Anderson mentioned Levis in a social media post.
While her statement was not specific, it did come across as if the Titans were shopping Levis, which at this point does not make much sense. Even if they were to take Cam Ward with the No. 1 pick, Levis has little value at this point.
That report was also contradicted in an article by Noah Strackbein for Sports Illustrated.
As for Levis, a senior NFL executive tells Titans On SI there is widespread belief around the NFL that Will Levis is available for trade. However, it’s not fair to characterize it as the Titans “shopping” Levis. It is fair to characterize it as people around the league believing he is available and that Tennessee will take calls.
Every team takes calls for players, and young signal-callers are always in demand, so the thought that Levis could be available if a team does select Cam Ward makes sense. In 2024, the NFL saw four high-round quarterbacks from the 2022 NFL draft move to different teams.

Levis is still with the Titans and will likely stay with them in the near term.
Once the draft gets underway, many scenarios could put Levis on the move, especially if the Titans select Ward at No. 1. At this point, there are still dominos that must fall before anything materializes.
