Last season, the Tennessee Titans found what the team hopes is their quarterback of the future in second-round pick Will Levis. As a result, it sounds like the team is trading away one of their other quarterbacks who also tried to earn the starting job before he was beat out by Levis.
According to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Tennessee Titans have decided to trade away veteran quarterback Malik Willis, sending him to the Green Bay Packers in return for a seventh-round pick.
“QB trade: Titans are sending QB Malik Willis to the Packers in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick, per sources. Willis is likely to back up Jordan Love,” Schefter said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Willis was selected as a third-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in the 2022 NFL Draft. The team had high hopes for the quarterback, even turning to him to start three games for the team during the 2022 season. However, it has since become quite clear that Levis will be the team’s primary option moving forward.
We’ll have to see how Willis’ career fairs with the Green Bay Packers, where he will backup Jordan Love.
