Will Levis signed to the Jets practice squad Tuesday, replacing Bailey Zappe. Levis, 27, was drafted second-round by Tennessee in 2023, started nine games as a rookie and earned the starting spot in 2024 before suffering a torn AC joint requiring season-ending surgery in July 2025. In 12 games across 2024, he completed 63.1% of passes (190 for 301) with 13 touchdowns and a 2-10 record. He was cut by the Titans in August after they drafted Cam Ward first overall.

The source does not believe Levis has what it takes to be a starter in the NFL, despite his elite physical tools—he is a big, physical player with a huge arm. The biggest question is whether he has the mental capacity to play the position. This assessment comes after the Titans' failed experiment with Levis as starter just two years prior, which lasted only two weeks before collapsing spectacularly, prompting Tennessee to draft Cam Ward first overall in 2025 to replace him.

Will Levis signed to the Jets' practice squad after being cut by the Titans in August. Levis was a 2023 second-round pick who started nine games as a rookie in 2023, won the starting job in 2024 but went 2-10 as a starter and missed time with a shoulder injury before being benched for the final two games. He missed the entire 2025 season after shoulder surgery. Levis threw for 3,899 yards, 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions while completing 61 percent of his passes across his 21 starts. He joins a Jets depth chart where Geno Smith is the starter, rookie Cade Klubnik is the backup, and Bailey Zappe is on the practice squad.

Levis is implicitly referenced in the source's overreaction about the Titans' hire of Robert Saleh, where the source states 'Teams who hire defensive-minded head coaches with young high-round picks at quarterback rarely pan out' and calls the Titans' situation 'a complete disaster' after Week 1. Levis, the No. 1 pick from last year, 'struggled with consistency and stability,' and the source suggests the pairing of Saleh and Levis was unwise.

Cut by the Tennessee Titans; worked out by the New York Jets for a potential practice squad spot. The source notes Levis is not ready to be a starting quarterback in the NFL but possesses many of the tools needed for success. The Jets' workout may also serve an intelligence-gathering purpose ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Titans. Career stats with Tennessee: 3,899 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions across 21 games after being drafted 33rd overall in 2023.

Levis, a second-round pick by the Titans in 2023, had a poor tenure in Tennessee; in 2024 he threw an interception on 4% of his passes across 12 starts while the Titans went 2-10. He did not play in 2025 and was waived by the Titans on cutdown day. The source questions how much upside Levis truly has given his poor Titans tenure and the fact that none of the 32 NFL teams are currently willing to offer him a roster spot; he is only being considered for a Jets practice squad spot.

Will Levis worked out for the Jets for a practice squad spot. Levis was a second-round pick by the Titans in 2023 but his tenure went poorly; in 2024 he started 12 games for a 2-10 Titans team and threw an interception on 4% of his passes. He did not play in 2025 and was waived by the Titans on cutdown day. The source questions how much upside Levis really has given his poor Titans performance and the fact that none of the 32 NFL teams are currently willing to offer him a roster spot.

Levis went unclaimed on waivers after the Titans released him, making him a free agent eligible to sign with any team or practice squad. The 27-year-old did not play in the 2025 season after undergoing shoulder surgery in the summer and has been replaced as Tennessee's starting quarterback by Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick. With 21 games of starting experience, Levis could potentially serve as a reserve quarterback, but his market value has collapsed—no team claimed him despite his availability.
