The Tennessee Titans find themselves at a crossroads this offseason, with decisions that could shape the franchise for the next several years. At the heart of the discussions is the quarterback position, a pivotal role that has significant implications for the team’s success moving forward.
Currently, the Titans have Will Levis, the former second-round pick, on their roster. Despite his potential, there’s a palpable buzz around the organization about the prospect of securing a franchise quarterback, one who could become the cornerstone of the franchise for years to come.
Complicating the Titans’ decision is their ownership of the coveted No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming draft. New general manager discussions indicate they might prioritize a “generational player,” someone who could impact the team in ways that go beyond the quarterback position. There’s mention of players like Travis Hunter, who could be game-changers for the franchise.
Titans fans might raise an eyebrow—or perhaps even grab their pitchforks—at the mention of Jake Browning, the 28-year-old quarterback who started seven games for the Cincinnati Bengals last season. It’s a name that might not ring familiar initially, but it’s one Titans supporters should get used to. Browning’s performance in those seven games was noteworthy; he led the team to a 4-3 record and showcased a level of skill that turned heads around the league.
His success helped elevate his former offensive coordinator, Brian Callahan, to the Titans’ head coaching position, creating a connection that could benefit both Browning and Tennessee. The Bengals are likely feeling secure with Browning as their backup, which might make a trade a tough sell. However, if the Titans were to dangle a 2025 third-round pick along with a 2026 fourth-round pick, it could catch the Bengals’ attention and create a pathway for a deal.
Bringing in Browning could provide the Titans with a level of stability they may not have had last season, particularly in comparison to the unpredictable nature of Levis’ play. This strategic move would not only give the Titans a more reliable presence under center but also free them to go for the best player available with their top pick. That could mean securing a standout talent like Travis Hunter and addressing the franchise quarterback search later on.
In a league where the quarterback can make or break a franchise, the Titans’ decisions this offseason will resonate well beyond the draft. As they plot their course, fans should brace themselves for an intriguing offseason in Nashville.
