The Tennessee Titans parted ways with quarterback Will Levis at the end of training camp, but he has apparently found a new home.
According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, who works with The Ringer and Netflix, Levis is joining the New York Jets‘ practice squad on Tuesday.
Levis Was With the Titans for Three Seasons
The Titans drafted Will Levis with the 33rd pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and he started 21 games over two seasons. In 2023, he played in nine games, finishing 3-6 while throwing for 1,808 yards, eight touchdowns, and four interceptions. In 2024, Levis appeared in 12 games, finishing 2-10 and throwing for 2,091 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
Tennessee showed how it felt about Levis when the Titans drafted Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft, which left Levis in a backup role that season. However, Levis didn’t stay there long, as he underwent surgery on his throwing shoulder at the end of July 2025, ending his season.
The Titans signed Mitchell Trubisky to a two-year, $10.5 million contract this offseason, which let him serve as the backup and made Levis the No. 3 quarterback. But it was better for the Titans to part ways with Levis and allow him to find a new opportunity elsewhere.
It took about four weeks for Levis to land on a new team, but now he may have a chance to play a role with the Jets, who could be ready to move on from Geno Smith sometime this season.
Cam Ward Has to Play Better This Season
The Titans might have moved on from Levis for Ward, but the second-year quarterback isn’t off to the best start this season. In the Titans’ Week 1 loss to the New York Jets, Ward completed 19 of 32 passes for 140 yards and one touchdown. Even though Ward didn’t play well, head coach Robert Saleh has expressed his full support for him.
“His growth will happen throughout the year,” Saleh said on Sept. 14, via Pro Football Talk. “His growth is gonna happen next year and the year after. This young man is at the floor of what it takes to be an NFL quarterback, but he has all the tools, the mental makeup to get to where he needs to go. It’s time on task, it’s giving the kid stability, it’s giving the young man the chance to be repetitive in his day-to-day process with the right coaching to help him get better… It’s a long process, long process to get these kids to get them where you need to get to, quarterback especially.”
Ward did bounce back in Week 2 against the Eagles, completing 19 passes for 183 yards and rushing for two scores. But now he will need to put it together again against the New York Giants in Week 3.
