The Tennessee Titans are reportedly seen as a team in line to make a move for a new quarterback in free agency this offseason.
According to ESPN's NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, the Titans are "expected" to sign a quarterback in free agency this offseason. He points to the most notable signal-callers available being Aaron Rodgers, Sam Darnold, Justin Fields, Russell Wilson and Daniel Jones.
"The Titans have not declared their intentions on which veteran they prefer, but they are expected to sign one, which could have implications for last year's starting QB," Fowler wrote.
Of course, this all depends on what the Titans choose to do with the No. 1 overall pick. If they keep the pick and draft, say, Miami quarterback Cam Ward, then the need to sign a new starting quarterback is gone.
Fields could be an interesting option given his age and positive performance this past season with the Steelers. He began the season as Pittsburgh's starter with Wilson still working his way back from injury. Fields finished the 2024 campaign with six starts in 10 games while going 106 of 161 passing for 1,106 yards, five touchdowns and one pick along with 62 carries for 289 rushing yards and five more scores on the ground.
Darnold remains an option as well after the Vikings didn't use the franchise tag on him. He finished the year 361 of 545 passing for 4,319 yards, 35 touchdowns and 12 interceptions but struggled mightily at the end of the season, likely leaving many teams feeling hesitant about his future.
Lost in this mix is Will Levis, who an NFL personnel man told Fowler could be "the odd man out."
"Levis could be the odd man out in that equation," the NFL personnel man told Fowler. "I think they are tired of the backbreaking turnovers."
Time will tell how all of this plays out for the Titans as they look toward the start of the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday, April 24.
Titans Named Perfect Fit For Aaron Rodgers
The Tennessee Titans hold a lot of power entering the 2025 NFL offseason. With the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, as well as $60.353 million in cap space per Over the Cap, Tennessee will cause a massive domino effect with whatever move they decide to make at quarterback.
In a thin draft class when it comes to potential franchise signal callers, many believe the Titans will go the route of signing a free agent to fill the void in 2025, including Matt Verderame of Sports Illustrated, who has Tennessee as a perfect fit for four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers.
"This is using a bit of creative liberty since Rodgers isn’t yet a free agent," Verderame writes. "But with his release certainly on the way, Rodgers will be looking for a new home. The Titans could use the No. 1 pick on Cam Ward, but if they go another route, Rodgers makes sense as a Hall of Fame bridge to the future. The 41-year-old also has a house in Tennessee, making the fit seamless."
While the New York Jets limped to a 5-12 record in 2024, Rodgers himself was largely fine and still an above average quarterback. He finished the year with 28 touchdown passes to 11 interceptions. And while he isn't vintage Aaron Rodgers anymore, he is still far better than what Tennessee fielded a season ago.
