The Tennessee Titans will likely be cutting the cord on the Will Levis era after just two seasons with the team.
The front office regime and coaching staff are different from the people who brought Levis in as the No. 33 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and his struggles this past season were apparent.
That's why Levis could be traded during this week's draft, and the Los Angeles Rams could be a team that makes sense for him in a trade, according to Bleacher Report writer Kristopher Knox.
"Learning under Sean McVay and behind Matthew Stafford could help Levis reach his NFL potential. McVay's spacing-based offense would allow him to operate as a "see it, throw it" passer while learning to better read defenses, hone accuracy and make better decisions," Knox writes.
"The Rams, meanwhile, will need to find an heir to Stafford at some point. The 37-year-old will be back in 2025 after agreeing to an adjusted contract but isn't going to play forever."
Adding Levis would give the Rams an option for the future. Levis has a lot left in the tank after just two years in the league, and a change of scenery will likely do him a lot of good after a tumultuous tenure in Tennessee.
Learning from a true veteran like Stafford that has won a Super Bowl before could help Levis get the development that he wasn't able to get while with Tennessee.
The Rams were able to help revitalize Baker Mayfield's career when he came in the middle of the 2022 season, and they could be able to do that with Levis if the stars align.
The Titans and the rest of the NFL are getting ready for the draft, which begins Thursday at 7 p.m. CT.
NFC South Team Could Target Titans QB
The Tennessee Titans could be talking with some teams during the NFL Draft about the idea of trading quarterback Will Levis.
With the Titans slated to take Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick, teams could contact Tennessee about the availability of Levis.
Bleacher Report writer Kristopher Knox thinks that the New Orleans Saints could be a team in talks with the Titans for Levis.
"If general manager Mickey Loomis believes that No. 9 is too high to take a signal-caller, though, he could pivot to a veteran like Kirk Cousins or Levis," Knox wrote.
"Of the two potential trade targets, Levis feels like a stronger fit for new head coach Kellen Moore and his offense. He's far less proven than Cousins, but his combination of arm strength, size (6'4", 229 lbs) and scrambling ability would give Moore some of the options he had with Jalen Hurts as the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive coordinator.
"At worst, Levis would add another young signal-caller to a QB competition that will also likely involve Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener."
The Saints likely wouldn't trade with their top rival in the Atlanta Falcons for Cousins, but Levis' contract is much cheaper than his and he is a better fit for the offense New Orleans is trying to build.
Adding Levis gives the Saints some insurance in case Derek Carr isn't healthy throughout the season and it gives New Orleans someone it could use to build around once the veteran's contract is up.
The Titans might only get a Day 3 pick out of the Saints to bring Levis on board, but that is one more selection than they had before, and it would give the team someone with more of a possibility to be part of Tennessee's future than its former Day 2 quarterback.
