Titans Cut Stanley Morgan Jr.

The Tennessee Titans waived/released wide receiver Stanley Morgan Jr., linebacker Curtis Bolton, defensive tackles McTelvin Agim and Isaiah Iton, defensive back Gervarrius Owens and offensive guard Logan Bruss on Wednesday. Their roster currently sits at 65 players after the cuts. Morgan, 28, has not played in an NFL game since 2023 with the Cincinnati Bengals, when he played in just three games and didn't see a single target on offense. In fact, he hasn't caught a pass in the NFL since 2021 and has only five receptions on 15 targets for 29 yards and no touchdowns in 51 games (one start) over his five seasons with the Bengals since entering the league as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska. The Titans had signed Morgan to a Reserve/Futures deal after he spent time on their practice squad in 2024. He'll be hoping to latch on with another team before training camp this summer.

Titans Have Become Sold On Cam Ward

TitansInsider.com Terry McCormick writes that the Tennessee Titans have become sold on taking Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in next Thursday night's 2025 NFL draft. Although this year's QB class is widely regarded as weak across the board, the Titans entered the offseason fully expected to give former second-rounder Will Levis competition after he flopped in 2024. Initially, Ward was a wild-card in the Titans' evaluations and it looked like Colorado's Shedeur Sanders would be a better fit for head coach Brian Callahan's offense. However, an 18-minute conversation with Ward at the combine in February may have been what really sold the Titans on him. The 22-year-old then "knocked it out of the park" in his official top-30 visit on March 7. Tennessee came away even more impressed with Ward after his Pro Day workout on March 24, and he's likely going to be their starter under center come Week 1 in 2025.

All Signs Point To Titans Taking Cam Ward At No. 1 Overall

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that all signs appear to be pointing to the Tennessee Titans taking University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the first overall pick in this year's NFL draft. Russini goes on to say that the only way the Titans part with the No. 1 pick is through a history trade package. The Titans canceled their private workout with Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders last week, which is further proof that they have their sights set on taking Ward as the first overall pick in a few weeks. Former second-rounder Will Levis flopped in his shot as the team's starting signal-caller in 2024 and led the league with 18 turnovers, leading to his benching. The 22-year-old will expected to come in immediately and start in Week 1 in 2025 after throwing for 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns and seven interceptions last year.

Treylon Burks Unlikely To Be Ready For Training Camp

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) is unlikely to be ready for training camp this summer, A To Z Sports' Buck Reising reports. Burks, who has been a major bust for the Titans since they selected him 18th overall in 2022 out of Arkansas, was placed on Injured Reserve last year on Oct. 19 and eventually had surgery to address damage in his ACL. The 25-year-old didn't have a full tear of his ACL, which is good news, but he still isn't expected to be ready for training camp and also might not be ready for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season. It's more disappointment for the young wideout, who has completely fallen off the fantasy radar at this point, even in dynasty/keeper leagues. Through his first three NFL seasons, Burks has only 53 catches for 699 yards and one touchdown on 92 targets. The Titans added Van Jefferson in free agency, but they'll surely address the position in the upcoming draft as well.

Tim Boyle Joins Titans Quarterback Room

The Tennessee Titans announced on Wednesday that they signed free-agent quarterback Tim Boyle to an undisclosed deal. Boyle will provide depth in the QB room in Tennessee behind Will Levis and Brandon Allen. However, with the Titans fully expected to take a rookie signal-caller in this year's draft -- signs are pointing toward it being Cam Ward at No. 1 overall -- Boyle won't be a lock to stick around with Tennessee into the 2025 regular season. The 30-year-old veteran will be joining his seventh NFL team after already playing with the Packers, Lions, Bears, Jets, Dolphins and Giants. He spent last year with the Dolphins and Giants, going 27-for-50 for 276 yards, one touchdown and an interception in three games (no starts). Boyle has a 60.5 career completion percentage with five touchdown passes and 13 interceptions in 23 career games (five starts) over six seasons.

James Proche II  • WR  •  Titans

Titans Sign James Proche II

The Tennessee Titans announced on Wednesday that they signed free-agent wide receiver James Proche II to an undisclosed deal. Proche will head to the AFC South after spending the last two seasons playing for the Cleveland Browns, where he had only three receptions on eight targets for 21 yards and no touchdowns in 19 games played (one start). The 28-year-old former sixth-round pick (201st overall) by the Baltimore Ravens in 2020 out of SMU has mostly specialized as a kick returner on special teams in his career, returning 68 punts for 591 yards and four kickoffs for 60 yards in his five NFL seasons. Expect Proche to compete for kick-return duties in Tennessee this summer in training camp. In 62 total games played, Proche has 28 receptions for 299 yards and no touchdowns on 48 targets on offense, so he won't suddenly become fantasy relevant in Tennessee.

Curtis Jacobs  • LB  •  Titans

Titans Claim Curtis Jacobs

The Tennessee Titans have claimed linebacker Curtis Jacobs off waivers, Jim Wyatt of the team reports. Jacobs was released by the New England Patriots late last week. Tennessee will effectively take on the remainder of his three-year $2.88 million deal. The Penn State product appeared in nine games last season (two starts) while also spending time on special teams (136 snaps). He registered four tackles. Jacobs played on just 2.06% of defensive snaps but nearly a third of the Patriots' special teams ones (31.12%). The second-year pro never notched more than 39 tackles during his time as a Nittany Lion and doesn't project to contribute much at all in fantasy.

Joey Slye  • K  •  Titans

Titans Sign Kicker Joey Slye

The Tennessee Titans signed former New England Patriots and Washington Commanders kicker Joey Slye to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to agent Glenn Schwartzman. Slye signed with the Patriots last year and beat out Chad Ryland for kicking duties. The 28-year-old then went 26-for-33 on his field-goal attempts (6-for-9 from 50-plus yards) and 25-for-26 on his extra-point tries in 17 games played. The Titans will be the sixth team that Slye has kicked for in his NFL career after going undrafted out of Virginia Tech in 2018. He has a career 81.7 percent success rate on his field-goal attempts in 95 games played. He's currently the only kicker on Tennessee's roster, but it wouldn't be a surprise for the Titans to bring in competition for training camp this summer. Slye is unlikely to be much of a fantasy option in 12-team leagues this fall.

Lorenzo Carter Inks Deal With Tennessee

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports that the Tennessee Titans have signed veteran edge rusher Lorenzo Carter to an undisclosed contract. The 29-year-old spent the last three seasons with Atlanta after being selected by the New York Giants in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Carter played 13 games with the Falcons in 2024 and registered the team's third-most snaps off the edge. However, he failed to record a sack for the first time in his career. He'll join a Titans' defense that allowed the third-fewest yards per game in the league (311.2) but the third-most points per game (27.1). Tennessee is a gritty team, and the veteran should be a boost as a rotational piece for the organization. Still, he won't be a factor for fantasy.

Julius Chestnut  • RB  •  Titans

Titans Bring Julius Chestnut Back On One-Year Deal

The Tennessee Titans are re-signing running back Julius Chestnut to a one-year contract, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. Chestnut signed with Tennessee after going undrafted in 2022 out of Sacred Heart University, and he has contributed on special teams and offense over the last three seasons. Overall, the 24-year-old has logged 31 rushes for 102 yards, five receptions for 52 yards, four tackles, and one fumble recovery in 23 career games. While Chestnut is unlikely to be fantasy-relevant in 2025, the run of unfortunate injury luck for backup running back Tyjae Spears keeps him on the fantasy football radar in the deepest of fantasy football leagues. That said, if the Titans select a running back in the 2025 NFL Draft at any point, Chestnut could be a cut candidate after training camp.

Will Levis  • QB  •  Titans

Titans Not Actively Shopping Will Levis, Could Make Deal On Draft Night

According to Terry McCormick of Titaninsider.com, the Tennessee Titans are not actively or currently shopping quarterback Will Levis. However, he said the team could strike a deal on draft night to ship the 2023 second-round pick. There were reports on Tuesday that teams have called regarding Levis' availability, but the Titans are keeping all options open, and a trade is not inevitable. In 21 games with Tennessee, the Kentucky product has thrown for 3,899 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. While all signs point toward the Titans selecting Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the organization could opt to keep Levis as a backup or trade him down the line when Ward potentially officially becomes the selection at the top of April's draft.

Kirk Cousins, Will Levis On The Trade Block?

A league source told Josina Anderson that both Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins and Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis came up in recent preliminary trade inquiries or internal discussions. "Atlanta has been getting calls," the league source said, while also saying, "the Titans would like to transition." The Falcons continue to say they're willing to pay Cousins top money to serve as their backup in 2025, and they even kept him past last Saturday's $10 million guarantee deadline. However, Cousins doesn't want to be a backup, and Atlanta could give in if they get the right return, although they'd probably have to eat some money, too. The Titans are clearly ready to move on from Levis, who was benched last year, but it remains to be seen what kind of trade market he'd even have. It's looking a lot more likely that the Titans may hang onto the No. 1 overall pick and take Miami QB Cam Ward.

Chidobe Awuzie Released By Titans

Tennessee Titans defensive back Chidobe Awuzie has been released by the organization on Saturday. This is an interesting move considering Awuzie signed a three-year deal with Tennessee last offseason. His first season in Tennessee was a disappointment, but it's a bit surprising to see the Titans giving up on him so quick. Awuzie recorded 26 tackles, four passes defended, and one interception in eight games (seven starts) with the Titans last season. He was limited to eight games due to injury, but that's not too shocking considering Awuzie hasn't played a full season since 2019. Despite the injury history, Awuzie should have a decent market as a free agent.

Brandon Allen  • QB  •  Titans

Brandon Allen Joining Titans Quarterback Room

Free-agent quarterback Brandon Allen is signing a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. Allen was originally a sixth-round selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016 out of Arkansas and has spent time with five NFL organizations. Overall, the 32-year-old has completed just under 57% of his passing attempts for 1,810 yards, 11 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 18 career games (one start). He'll now join Will Levis in Tennessee's quarterback room, and the Titans seem to be signaling that they are leaning toward picking a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It would not be a surprise if Levis is dealt for a late-round pick, and Tennessee selects Miami quarterback Cam Ward next month.

Titans Sign Dre'Mont Jones To One-Year Deal

The Tennessee Titans signed free-agent defensive lineman Dre'Mont Jones on Wednesday to a one-year, $10 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jones will head to the AFC South after spending the last two years with the Seattle Seahawks, where he had 77 tackles (40 solo), 8.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 25 QB hits and a forced fumble in 34 games (23 starts). The 28-year-old defensive end's numbers in 2024 were his lowest since his rookie season in 2019 with the Denver Broncos. The Broncos originally took him in the third round (71st overall) in 2019 out of Ohio State. In his six seasons in the NFL, Jones has 210 total tackles (116 solo), 30.5 sacks, 40 tackles for loss, 63 QB hits, one interception, seven pass breakups, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Tennessee will be looking to pair him with Sebastian Joseph-Day alongside Jeffery Simmons.

Kevin Zeitler  • G  •  Titans

Kevin Zeitler Signs One-Year Deal With Titans

Former Pro Bowl offensive guard Kevin Zeitler is signing a one-year, $9 million deal with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. Zeitler will head to the AFC South after spending the 2024 season with the Detroit Lions, where he started in 16 regular-season games. The 35-year-old did not play in the Divisional Round loss to the Washington Commanders due to a hamstring injury but should be fully healthy for the start of the 2025 campaign this fall. He's been extremely durable in his 13-year NFL career, starting 197 of the 198 games he's appeared in since making his NFL debut in 2012 after the Cincinnati Bengals made him a first-round selection. Zeitler will be a no-doubt starter on Tennessee's offensive line in 2025, but it remains to be seen which quarterback he'll be protecting.

Van Jefferson  • WR  •  Titans

Van Jefferson Inks Deal With Tennessee

The Tennessee Titans are signing former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson to a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million. Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports reported the news. The former Florida Gator spent one season in Pittsburgh, accumulating just 24 receptions, 276 yards, and two touchdowns in 17 games. Jefferson played the second-most snaps of all Steelers wideouts with 755 (George Pickens). The 28-year-old has eclipsed 370 receiving yards only once in his career (in 2022 with the Rams) but figures to slot in as the team's second WR behind incumbent primary option Calvin Ridley. He'll now vie for targets with fellow wideouts Tyler Boyd and Treylon Burks and tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo. Jefferson regularly disappeared last season, recording one catch or fewer in nine appearances, and will be difficult to trust as a viable fantasy option in 2025 despite the change of scenery.

Xavier Woods  • S  •  Titans

Xavier Woods Signs With Tennessee

Former Carolina Panthers safety Xavier Woods has signed a new two-year, $10 million deal with the Tennessee Titans. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. Woods spent the last three seasons in Carolina, leading the team in tackles with 119 in 2024. Perhaps most impressively, he started all 17 games and played 100% of Carolina's defensive snaps (1,218). The former sixth-round pick will now join his fourth team since being selected by Dallas in the 2017 NFL Draft and should provide a sure-tackling asset for the Titans while working in tandem with fellow safety Mike Brown, who is returning to the team on a one-year deal. Tennessee still has some work to do on the offensive side of the ball, but they've shored up a defense that allowed the third-fewest yards per game in the league a season ago (311.2).

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Takes His Talents To South Beach

Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has signed a two-year contract with the Miami Dolphins. The agreement is worth $6.5 million, with $3.2 million guaranteed. Westbrook-Ikhine is coming off his best season as a pro in 2024. Despite not snagging his first catch until after the Titans' bye in Week 5, he'd go on to set career-highs with 497 yards and an impressive nine TDs. However, he posted just one game with more than three receptions. It's an interesting move for Miami, who continues to load up the offensive side of the ball. The 27-year-old's path to touches is not a clear one, as he'll vie for targets with fellow wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, as well as Jonnu Smith, who broke out last season, leading the team in receptions (88).

Cody Barton  • ILB  •  Titans

Cody Barton Joins Titans On Three-Year Deal

Free-agent linebacker Cody Barton agreed to a three-year, $21 million deal on Monday with the Tennessee Titans, his agents told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It's a big pickup for the Titans and a big loss for the Denver Broncos after Barton posted three straight seasons of 100-plus combined tackles with the Broncos, Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders. In his lone season in Denver, the 28-year-old had 106 tackles (53 solo), 1.5 sacks, two interceptions, five pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown in 17 regular-season games (14 starts). After three straight strong seasons with three different teams, Barton will head to the fourth team of his NFL career and is expected to be Tennessee's starting inside linebacker. While Barton has only 3.5 sacks in his six NFL seasons, he'll be on the fantasy radar in deeper IDP leagues because of his tackling ability alone.
