He entered the league as a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft but never lived up to expectations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">He was <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong mui-mlpnpn\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/2094483536292032889\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">not claimed<\/a> by any team on waivers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Here are some potential landing spots now that Levis is heading to free agency:<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">It should be noted none of these landing spots are for a starting role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Levis had his chance as a starter for the Titans and largely struggled with a 5-16 record across the 2023 and 2024 seasons. His QBR in his 12 games in 2024 of 25.2 was 36th in the league, per <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong mui-mlpnpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/years\/2024\/passing.htm\">Pro Football Reference<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">That means teams that either need backup depth or could give him an opportunity to work with an offensive-minded coach to revive his career figure to be his best landing spots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">The Washington Commanders stand out with Marcus Mariota dealing with a <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong mui-mlpnpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25472815-marcus-mariota-injury-update-and-status-ahead-commanders-season-revealed-new-nfl-rumors\">knee injury<\/a> this preseason. Having enough playable backup depth is important in Washington after Jayden Daniels was limited to seven games last season, and Levis could at least provide an insurance policy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Perhaps he could end up with the Green Bay Packers as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Green Bay <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong mui-mlpnpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.packers.com\/news\/packers-announce-trade-with-dolphins-aug-30-2026\">traded<\/a> away a depth piece in Kyle McCord and would give Levis an opportunity to work with head coach Matt LaFleur. LaFleur has an offensive background and is known for his ability to get the best out of his quarterbacks, so perhaps he could help Levis turn things around moving forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could also use more depth after they released veteran Jake Browning, per ESPN&#8217;s <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong mui-mlpnpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/2094065382893949358\">Adam Schefter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Undrafted free agent Jalon Daniels <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong mui-mlpnpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25494530-bucs-name-udfa-qb2-amid-baker-mayfields-contract-negotiations-new-nfl-rumors-reveal\">becoming<\/a> the backup behind Baker Mayfield is an impressive story, but Levis would at least give the Buccaneers someone who has game experience behind their starter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Will Levis&#8217; time with the Tennessee Titans is over.
