The Jacksonville Jaguars have a top-10 quarterback in Trevor Lawrence. Unlike last year, the former Clemson Tiger isn’t dealing with questions about his future in Duval. In fact, he should be even better in his second season under Liam Coen. However, the Jags could be in trouble if he misses time, as the depth behind him leaves a bit to be desired.

While backup Nick Mullens could hold the fort if Lawrence misses time, he probably won’t be able to keep the team afloat if he has to suit up for more than just a few games. Carter Bradley is the third-stringer and could eventually supplant Mullens as the No. 2. That said, he still has his work cut out for him to move up the depth chart. Compounding the issue is that there aren’t many viable options out there to upgrade the quarterback position beyond Lawrence. Then again, the cupboard isn’t fully bare.

Trading for Anthony Richardson may make the most sense, but there’s another quarterback in the AFC South hiding in plain sight that could help Jacksonville solve its woes at the position.

The Jaguars are being urged to inquire about Titans QB Will Levis

John Shipley of Sports Illustrated suggests the Jaguars trade for Will Levis, noting that the former Kentucky Wildcat could benefit from a change of scenery, citing his connection to head coach Liam Coen.

For context, Coen coached Levis in 2021, when he completed 66 percent of his throws for 2,827 yards with 24 touchdowns. His fate was sealed when the Tennessee Titans drafted Cam Ward first overall in 2025.

On the other hand, Bryce W. Lazenby notes that it doesn’t make sense to keep Levis around with Mitch Trubisky slated to be QB2 behind Cam Ward, arguing that Tennessee must outright release him if they can’t find a trade partner.

Why it makes sense for the Jaguars to trade for Will Levis

Will Levis was a second-round pick in 2023, so he definitely has intriguing traits. Liam Coen already got the most of them once and could most definitely steer him in the right direction. This begs the question, just how much would it cost the Jaguars to acquire the fourth-year quarterback?

Given that Levis’ stock is at an all-time low, it would probably take a seventh, perhaps a sixth-round pick if he meets certain conditions, such as playing time. That’s a price Jacksonville can most afford to pay, especially when you take into account that general manager James Glastone isn’t afraid to take a swing to address the larger scale roster.

Now, there are no reports that the Jaguars are looking to bolster their depth at quarterback, let alone that they’re interested in Levis. Nevertheless, he would most definitely offer a boost, while he gets a chance to rebuild his stock. This is a long-winded way to say that it would be a win-win situation.

Sure, it would most likely be a short-term fix, as Will Levis would likely be a one-year rental. That said, he would give the Jaguars much-needed insurance in case Trevor Lawrence weren’t good to go.
