Levis provided Tennessee with 21 starts over the past two seasons, a 2023 NFL Draft second-round selection who at times flashed brilliance but too often made head-scratching blunders. Levis tied for the league high with 18 turnovers (12 interceptions and six fumbles lost) last season — his first under Titans head coach Brian Callahan.

With the addition of Ward, Levis’ time atop the Titans depth chart is done for all intents and purposes. However, Borgonzi said “there was not” an attempt to move him during the draft and it would seem the team wants Ward to compete for the starting job — at least right now, anyhow.

Levis, who shared starts with Mason Rudolph last year, and Ward are joined in the Titans’ current QB room by journeymen backups Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle.

“It’s a great room we have right now with those four guys,” Borgonzi said. “That’ll be up to Brian and his staff in terms of reps as we go through the offseason and get into training camp. We’ll take it step by step here and that’ll be up to Brian in terms of who takes what reps at some point.”

Ward hasn’t been named the starting QB and the Titans aren’t looking to move Levis.

At some point, the former is very likely to change and the latter might, as well.

For now, though, the buzz word is competition.

“The idea here is to have competition in the room,” Borgonzi said.
