Florio said that following a discussion with his son, he is adding Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan to the list.</p><p>Florio said though it would be better <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/is-brian-callahan-on-the-hot-seat-in-2025" rel="noopener">if the team held on</a> to Callahan a little longer, due to the fact that Cam Ward is the new quarterback.</p><p>“The young quarterback doesn’t need a revolving door. He needs consistency and continuity,” Florio wrote, per NBC Sports. “But dysfunctional teams do dysfunctional things, and the recent run of dysfunction in Tennessee is reason enough to wonder whether Callahan will be feeling the heat, unless he at least doubles his first-year win total in his second NFL campaign.”</p><p>Florio believes what is going on in the front office could also play a role.</p><p>“In Tennessee, Chad Brinker became after 2024 the latest winner of the in-house power struggle. He’s running the show, with Mike Borgonzi now the G.M,” Florio added. “The latest iteration of mismatched front office/coach could result in Speck/Borgonzi wanting their own head coach after the coming season.”</p><p>Callahan won just three games in his first season with the Titans in 2024.</p><h2><b>The Titans have high hopes for 2025</b></h2><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/titans-news-tennessee-cam-ward-no-1-overall-pick-2025-nfl-draft">Titans drafted Ward with the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft</a>.

In his final college season, the quarterback threw for 4,313 passing yards at Miami. He also posted 39 touchdowns, to just seven interceptions.</p><p>Ward <a href="https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nfl/titans/2025/06/27/cam-ward-titans-espn-dan-orlovsky-laura-rutledge/83678864007/" rel="noopener">has plenty of fans</a> including former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky.</p><p>“I’ve been high on him since I studied his tape,” Orlovsky said, per The Tennessean. “I think that surely Tennessee’s got a guy that’s going to surprise not only Tennessee, but the league.”</p><p>The Titans have long struggled in the NFL. Tennessee has just one Super Bowl appearance, and that happened more than 25 years ago. Titans fans are thirsting for something to cheer for, and Ward certainly gives them hope moving forward.</p><p>NFL training camp starts in July.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Also, they have a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-news-cam-ward-remarkable-trait-brian-callahan-floored">rookie quarterback who is turning</a> heads. Furthermore, here is one obvious Titans trade candidate entering the 2025 training camp.</p><p>Obvious is a good word for this one because there’s no doubt who the Titans could shop. They took Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick, clearly signaling that he will be their starter moving forward. Perhaps as long as the next decade.</p><p>That leaves backup Will Levis out in the cold.</p><h2><b>Titans may decide to trade QB Will Levis</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Tennessee-Titans-QB-Will-Levis.jpg"><figcaption>Steve Roberts-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>With Brandon Allen sitting in the No. 3 chair, the Titans have a veteran who could take over if Ward gets hurt. They also have Tim Boyle on the roster.</p><p>Plus, Levis might be able to bring something significant back to the Titans in a trade. A second-round pick (No. 33 overall) in the 2023 draft, Levis failed to get things going in 21 career starts. His record of 5-16 tells a big part of the story.</p><p>But also, Levis has nearly as many interceptions (16) as he does touchdown passes (21). And his QBR of 33.2 (2023) and 27.8 (last year) leave a lot to be desired.</p><p>However, the Titans have downplayed the notion of a trade. They claim his value comes in the form of pushing Ward for <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/44905707/titans-try-trade-levis-cite-qb-value-competition" rel="noopener">the starting position</a>, according to espn.com.</p><p>“It’s a lot of value,” Borgonzi said. “There is going to be competition in every room, and he elevates the competition in that room. That is what we’re trying to do here as we get into training camp. We want to have the best 90-man roster and the best competition in every room. And Will certainly provides that.”</p><p>Borgonzi even went as far as to say it’s almost a real competition.</p><p>“These guys are going to get an equal amount of reps at the beginning,” Borgonzi said. “And they will separate themselves as we head into training camp. The idea is to have competition in the room. I am sure reps will change at some point as people separate themselves.”</p><h2><b>QB Will Levis widely rumored to be moving on from the Titans</b></h2><p>Still, the <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfls-post-june-1-period-top-2025-cut-trade-candidates-include-falcons-kirk-cousins-dolphins-tyreek-hill/" rel="noopener">trade rumors persist</a>, according to cbssports.com.</p><p>“The Tennessee Titans aren’t rushing to move on from the former second-round pick, at least publicly,” Cody Benjamin wrote. “But ever since the club’s new regime spent this year’s No. 1 overall pick on Cam Ward, the writing has been on the wall. Could coach Brian Callahan retain the big-armed youngster as Ward’s backup? Perhaps. But the Titans could save $1.6 million by trading Levis after June 1.”</p><p>Benjamin noted potential trade partners as the Buccaneers, Lions, and Rams.</p><p>Another reason why it makes sense for the Titans <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/titans-coach-brian-callahan-on-will-levis-latest-blunder-he-s-a-grown-up-and-he-knows-better" rel="noopener">to part ways</a> is because of the way Titans head coach Brian Callahan talked about Levis last season, according to nfl.com.</p><p>“Yeah, I was upset,” Callahan said about one of Levis’ plays. “It was dumb. It was the same exact thing he did last week. And it cost us points in the red zone. That is what it is. He’s a grown-up, and he knows better. I was really irritated that he cost us three points in a game that we probably needed it. We can’t have it. He’s got to protect our team better. He’s got to protect the ball better. It’s inexcusable to do those types of things.”</p><h2><b>Will Levis hasn’t won many games with the Titans</b></h2><p>It’s not like Levis was doomed that early in the season. But then again, his 2-10 record as a starter didn’t earn him many good points with the organization. Near the end of the season, Callahan expressed <a href="https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nfl/titans/2024/12/16/will-levis-tennessee-titans-brian-callahan-future-nfl/76971105007/" rel="noopener">a positive outlook</a> about Levis, according to tennessean.com.</p><p>“There’s a lot of things that Will’s done well,” Callahan said. “I think he’s improved. There’s a lot of playing of the quarterback position that I think he’s done a lot better job of. He had a really poor outing yesterday and that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the end for him.</p><p>“That’s just part of playing in the league. There’s plenty of guys that have gotten pulled from games after poor performances and they get better for it and come back better from it. Those are the things I’m looking at.”</p><p>Still, those comments came before the Titans made the organizational decision to draft Ward. Things are close to being set in stone now. The best way for Levis to find playing time at this point is to get dealt to a new team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams">Titans loaded up on wide receivers in the draft</a>, upgraded the offensive line in free agency, and added a handful of starters on defense.</p><p>When looking at the offseason in its entirety, the Titans added enough talent to prove that they are no longer the worst team in the league. Now the Titans need to focus on turning the team into a contender in the AFC South.</p><p>Tennessee’s coaching staff already had a chance to see their young players in action during rookie minicamp, OTAs, and mandatory minicamp. The next big milestone on the NFL calendar is training camp later this summer.</p><p>I spent a lot of time praising the Titans already, but there here are still a few areas of the roster that could be improved ahead of the 2025 NFL season.</p><p>Below we will explore one roster move the Titans need to make before the start of training camp in July.</p><h2><b>The Titans need an inside linebacker like Ja’Whaun Bentley or Eric Kendricks</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Josh-Uche_437524.jpg"><figcaption>Mark Konezny-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Tennessee’s biggest roster need heading into training camp is off-ball linebacker. And it is the biggest need by a wide margin.</p><p>The Titans have invested heavily in their defense during the past few offseasons. They <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/grading-ljarius-sneed-trade-chiefs-titans">now have talented players like L’Jarius Sneed</a>, T’Vondre Sweat, and Jeffery Simmons who can be the backbone of the unit moving forward.</p><p>To be fair, the Titans have not completely neglected the off-ball linebacker position. They simply have not hit on many players in recent years.</p><p>Tennessee drafted both Cedric Gray and James Williams as well as signing Otis Reese IV as a UDFA. Reese has some promise, but both Gray and Williams have not yet lived up to expectations.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-news-tennessee-bolstering-defense-cody-barton-free-agency">Titans added Cody Barton on a three-year, $21 million contract</a> during free agency. Barton, who recorded 106 total tackles in 2024 with the Broncos, should be an immediate starter and a huge upgrade in the middle of Tennessee’s defense.</p><p>But Barton cannot do it alone.</p><p>The Titans would be wise to add another veteran off-ball linebacker before training camp. There are a handful of established veterans who could slot in perfectly to Tennessee’s 3-4 defense.</p><p>The best fits for Tennessee could be either Ja’Whaun Bentley or Eric Kendricks.</p><p>Bentley blossomed into a starting off-ball linebacker in 2020 in New England and was a capable starter ever since. In fact, Bentley posted over 100 total tackles each season between 2021 and 2023.</p><p>Unfortunately, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-jawhaun-bentley-out-for-season-torn-pectoral-muscle">Bentley suffered a season-ending pectoral injury</a> that forced him to miss almost the entire 2024 season.</p><p>The Patriots decided to move on from Bentley after Mike Vrabel took over as head coach.</p><p>Bentley could be a risky addition because of his recent pectoral injury. That said, he told Patriots fans at a season-ticket member event in March that <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/44443985/source-patriots-plan-release-3-captain-jawhaun-bentley" rel="noopener">he had been fully cleared</a>, per ESPN.</p><p>As for Kendricks, he has been even more reliable than Bentley.</p><p>Kendricks has forced at least 92 total tackles in every season of his NFL career dating back to the 2015 season in Minnesota. He had one of his more productive seasons in 2024 in Dallas, logging 138 total tackles.</p><p>There is no question that Kendricks’ experience would also be a great addition to Tennessee’s defense.</p><p>If the Titans were to decide between the two players, the tiebreaker may come down to age and injury risk.</p><p>Bentley (28) arguably has more tread left on his tires, but is coming off his aforementioned pectoral injury. Meanwhile, Kendricks (33) has veteran experience but may have lost a step in pass coverage.</p><p>In my opinion, either would be a great addition.</p><h2><b>Would Bentley or Kendricks become an immediate starter for the Titans in 2025?</b></h2><p>Perhaps the best way for the Titans to decide between these two linebackers is determining which could become an immediate starter.</p><p>Bentley may be the better linebacker by that metric, given his high level of play over the past three seasons. But it is hard to ignore his injury concerns.</p><p>Technically the Titans could start Kendricks as well, though perhaps not as an every-down player.</p><p>PFN’s Brandon Austin made the argument that Kendrick <a href="https://www.profootballnetwork.com/1-free-agent-each-team-should-sign-ahead-of-season-2025/" rel="noopener">could be more of an early-down linebacker</a> at this point in this career.</p><p>“Kendricks had an up-and-down 2024 campaign. He remained highly productive against the run, posting a career-high 94 tackles and an impressive 25% tackle rate, but his effectiveness in coverage declined,” Austin wrote about the possibility of the 49ers signing Kendricks. “His liabilities in coverage suggest he’s trending toward a role as an early-down linebacker rather than an every-down defender.”</p><p>If the Titans did add Kendricks, they could easily take him off the field on third downs. They could either replace him with an additional defensive back, or deploy former safety James Williams as a third-down linebacker.</p><p>If I were forced to make a choice for the Titans, I would lean towards Kendricks. But I will admit that Bentley is absolutely worth taking a chance on, even after his pectoral injury.</p><p>It will be fascinating to see which players, if any, the Titans add before training camp.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The rest of the team is clearly feeling the increased energy heading into the new season, and it led to some comments from <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/titans-news-brian-callahan-disappointing-tyjae-spears-injury-update">running back Tyjae Spears</a> that will surely fire up their fanbase.</p><p>After a strong rookie season, Spears was expected to serve alongside Tony Pollard at running back, but he struggled to stay on the field thanks to a slew of injuries, and even when he played, his production took a step back. Spears is healthy heading into the new season, though, and he revealed that he’s “<a href="https://www.tennesseetitans.com/news/titans-rb-tyjae-spears-focused-and-ready-for-what-s-next-in-year-3" rel="noopener">hungry</a>” to put together a strong season and prove that last year’s struggles will not define him.</p><p>“Just trying to make the most of my opportunities,” Spears said. “Definitely hungry for more, but I can’t do anything about last year. Confidence is building but definitely hungry for more. I’m just taking it one day at a time, and being the best I can be. I know that statement gets thrown around, but really stamping and solidifying it. I just want to show my best self whenever I can.”</p><h2><b>Titans hoping Tyjae Spears can help offense grow in 2025</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tyjae-Spears.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Spears is an effective change of pace option who is as good of a receiver out of the backfield as he is a runner. In 12 games last season, Spears racked up 312 yards and four touchdowns on 84 carries, while also catching 30 passes for 224 yards and another score. He had 95 yards on 20 carries in his lone game as a starter last season, proving that when he gets the ball, he can make things happen.</p><p>Of course, it’s a little bit difficult to do that when you aren’t fully healthy, and Spears was battling to just be on the field last season. In 2025, he’s looking to stay healthier, and make a bigger impact when he does end up playing. Ward is going to need all the help he can get under center as a rookie, so if Spears can produce in his third year in the league, that could help the Titans offense out in a big way.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But the first hot take comes from a veteran wide receiver.</p><h2><b>Titans WR Treylon Burks battling back</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Tennessee-Titans-WR-Treylon-Burks.jpg"><figcaption>Steve Roberts-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Burks suffered an ACL injury during practice back in October. The tough injury happened early enough in the season to give him a realistic chance of being ready to roll for the Titans at the start of 2025.</p><p>Part of the battle has been winning with <a href="https://www.tennesseetitans.com/news/titans-wr-treylon-burks-buoyed-by-faith-family-as-he-works-his-way-back-from-acl-injury" rel="noopener">a positive attitude</a>, according to tennesseetitans.com.</p><p>“I feel amazing, just blessed,” Burks said. “I’ve just been leaning on God, leaning on the people that believe in me, care. And I feel really good, and happy to be in the situation I’m in.”</p><p>Burks said the recovery process starts in the mind. Even though it’s a physical injury, the mental approach must be strong.</p><p>“It really starts with your mental, man,” Burks said. “Tearing an ACL, having any big injury like that, is definitely devastating. I did it by the grace of God, just to make it simple. I wouldn’t be able to do it without Him, without the courage He provides me. My daughter, my wife, a lot of friends, family. It means more when you are able to do it for just a bigger purpose than just yourself, I pride myself on that.</p><p>“I’m just blessed by the grace of God, and the people that have poured into me, and have worked with me every day to get me back to where I am now. I am just extremely excited to get back and play ball again.”</p><p>Burks hasn’t made it through a full season since being a first-round pick in 2022. He played in 11 games in 2022 before hitting that same mark in 2023. Last year, he played in only five games.</p><h2><b>Treylon Burks said he didn’t play “poor me” game</b></h2><p>“I never questioned God, like, ‘Why me?’ ” Burks said. “But it did put the mindset in my head, on if I still love the game, because it comes with a lot. And, just from going out every day, seeing what the guys are going through, watching it from home, it made me miss it more. And (now I want) to honor it.</p><p>“Every day that I am here at this facility, and every day that I am working, I don’t take it for granted. It means a lot more to me now. I’m not saying it didn’t mean a lot before, but it definitely means more now.”</p><h2><b>Rookie receivers showing good signs</b></h2><p>The Titans have the potential for a vastly improved receiver room in 2025. Calvin Ridley leads the way, and he should get plenty of help from veteran Tyler Lockett. If Burks gets back to 100%, that’s a strong trio in three-wide-receiver sets.</p><p>And there could be strong depth with Dike and Ayomanor looking <a href="https://www.tennesseetitans.com/news/ten-titans-who-impressed-me-during-the-offseason" rel="noopener">good so far</a>, according to tennesseetitans.com.</p><p>“I think Ayomanor and Dike are going to help the team this fall,” Jim Wyatt wrote. “And I’m not ruling out Restrepo being in the mix in some fashion either, whether it’s WR6 or WR7, or starting out on the practice squad.</p><p>“Ayomonor and Dike each had seven catches in the open practices, while Restrepo had 11, which led all receivers in the open practices. Can these guys pick up where they left off when camp begins?”</p><p>Ayomanor is getting good reviews for his work in practice. He got the nod as the Titans’ top <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25199230-every-nfl-teams-biggest-position-battle-and-potential-breakout-player" rel="noopener">summer breakout candidate</a>, according to bleacherreport.com.</p><p>“Ayomanor was a fourth-round pick, but he could easily outplay his draft slot,” Alex Ballentine wrote. “The (6-foot-2), 206-pound receiver grew up playing hockey, and that shows up in his physicality. He’s not a burner, but his ability as a separator earned a second-round grade and a comparison to Chris Godwin from B/R scout Dame Parson. If he’s able to showcase some of that in the coming months, he will soon have a nice role in the Titans’ offense.”</p><p>And if the receivers thrive, it’s going to give Ward a chance to make a run for offensive rookie of the year. Ward said <a href="https://www.tennesseetitans.com/news/what-s-next-for-titans-qb-cam-ward-work-out-stay-in-the-playbook-and-throw-the-expletive-out-of-the-ball" rel="noopener">he’s working hard</a>, according to tennesseetitans.com.</p><p>“I am growing, learning, especially being with the vets, getting our timing down,” Ward added. “So, I am excited.</p><p>“At the end of the day, I’m a gunslinger. I live by that, and I’ll always die by that.

The six-part series is set to premiere in September on the streaming service, according to Variety.</p><p>“Being overlooked — in my shoes, it was a blessing and a curse,” Ward said in a statement. “I overcame the curse by turning adversity into strength and I have played with nothing to lose, which is a blessing. It means you bring it all and leave it all out there on the field and in life.”</p><p>The docuseries was originally pitched as a Zero Star series that would focus on several athletes who had a similar story to Ward, but the Firebrand Media Group confirmed that it will now be solely focused on the Titans quarterback. </p><p>“Cam’s journey isn’t just about football — it’s about heart, belief, and the power of second chances,” said director and Firebrand partner Alec Roth per the outlet. “This series gives viewers an unfiltered look at a young man who was told ‘no’ at every stage yet refused to quit. From backyard games in West Columbia to draft night glory, Cam’s story unfolds across six episodes filled with raw emotion, defining moments, and behind-the-scenes access. It’s a modern hero’s journey — and a blueprint for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked.”</p><p>Tubi is known for lifting up independent creatives and will be fully backing the release of the docuseries.</p><p>“We’re proud to partner with Tubi for the exclusive premiere and national release of ‘Zero Star: The Cam Ward Story,’” said Head of Revenue and Distribution at Firebrand Media Group Jeff Symon. “Tubi has shown tremendous support for our creative vision, allowing us to stay true to the heart of this story while also backing the series with the promotion it deserves. We’re excited for audiences everywhere to experience Cam’s inspiring journey.”</p><p>Ward’s story was picked up to inspire other athletes who have had similar stories. </p><p>“From zero star to No. 1 pick, Cam Ward’s story is a rallying cry to all underdogs to face adversity head-on,” said Sam Harowitz, Tubi’s senior VP of content acquisitions and partnerships. “With Firebrand Media Group, we’re excited to bring this docuseries to Tubi viewers, offering an intimate portrait of the young man behind jersey #1.”</p><p>Ward will hit the field with the Titans during their first regular season game on September 7 against the Denver Broncos. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Tennessee was one of the worst teams in the NFL in 2024, only winning three games and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-5-best-options-with-no-1-pick-in-2025-nfl-draft">securing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft</a>. But now Titans fans have reason for optimism during the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-news-tennessee-plans-hire-bengals-oc-brian-callahan-mike-vrabel-head-coach-replacement">second year of the Brian Callahan era</a>.</p><p>Tennessee made a number of good moves in NFL free agency, acquiring several players on one-year deals. They also made some long-term investments, the biggest being a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-news-tennessee-agrees-82-million-contract-ex-steelers-lt-dan-moore">four-year contract for left tackle Dan Moore Jr.</a> But the team’s biggest improvements came from the 2025 NFL Draft.</p><p>It was no surprise when the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-news-tennessee-cam-ward-no-1-overall-pick-2025-nfl-draft">Titans used the first overall pick on QB Cam Ward</a>. The Miami quarterback is a clear upgrade over Will Levis and projects as the franchise quarterback of the future in Tennessee. The addition of Ward alone should do wonders for Tennessee’s offense.</p><p>Tennessee also added other talented rookies, loading up on playmakers on both sides of the ball.</p><p>The Titans now have a foundation of young players to build around moving into the future. But this infusion of youth also means that plenty of other players must be cut to make room for the youngsters.</p><p>But which players are in the greatest danger of being cut? And would the Titans consider cutting a few players before training camp even begins?</p><p>Below we will explore three Titans players who are in danger of being cut after mandatory minicamp.</p><h2><b>The Titans won’t need Tim Boyle after training camp</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Tim-Boyle.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Titans simply do not need Tim Boyle in 2025.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-news-signing-awful-qb-amid-cam-ward-buzz">Tennessee signed Boyle to a one-year contract back in March</a> when the only quarterbacks on the roster were Will Levis and Brandon Allen. The move made sense at the time, giving Tennessee a veteran QB3 who could help out in meeting rooms and on the sideline.</p><p>However, the addition of Cam Ward changes the role of every other quarterback on the team.</p><p>Ward is the franchise quarterback, with Levis now in the role of high-level backup. Brandon Allen could then slot in as the veteran QB3 behind those two. That doesn’t leave any room for Boyle in the conversation.</p><p>Without putting too fine a point on it, Boyle is the worst quarterback on the roster. It would be shocking if he managed to beat Brandon Allen in a training camp battle, let alone Levis or Ward.</p><p>The only way I can imagine Boyle making the final roster is if the Titans trade away Will Levis before the end of training camp.</p><p>Otherwise, cutting Boyle seems like such an easy decision.</p><h2><b>Devonte O’Malley could be the first Titans defender cut</b></h2><p>The Titans have almost too many players competing on the defensive line heading into training camp.</p><p>Tennessee has 10 players under contract on the defensive line and, at most, six of those players should make the final roster. Inevitably, some players will need to be cut.</p><p>Unfortunately, rookie Devonte O’Malley could be the first one to go.</p><p>O’Malley is an undrafted free agent out of North Illinois. He played defensive tackle at NIU and flashed potential as both a run defender and pass rusher. O’Malley even finished his collegiate career with 22.5 sacks.</p><p>The biggest problem for O’Malley is that he is at the bottom of a stacked depth chart.</p><p>The Titans have some good starters in Jeffery Simmons, T’Vondre Sweat, and Sebastian Joseph-Day. That leaves a host of reserve-level players competing for backup roles.</p><p>Those players include Keondre Coburn, Carlos Watkins, Philip Blidi, James Lynch, Cam Horsley, Isaiah Raikes, and of course O’Malley.</p><p>Nick Suss of The Tennessean believes that Simmons, Sweat, and Joseph-Day will make the roster as starters with <a href="https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nfl/titans/2025/06/13/tennessee-titans-depth-chart-projected-roster-2025-minicamp/84115162007/" rel="noopener">only Coburn and Watkins as backups</a>. If Suss is correct, that means half of Tennessee’s defensive linemen will be cut over the next few months.</p><p>Ultimately, the Titans may prefer to give O’Malley some reps in training camp just to kick the tires on him as a prospect. He could also give the team’s veterans a chance to rest.</p><p>The best-case scenario for O’Malley is somehow making his way onto the practice squad.</p><h2><b>Xavier Restrepo feels hopelessly behind in Tennessee’s wide receiver competition</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Xavier-Restrepo-touchdown.jpg"><figcaption>Brett Davis-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Restrepo’s history with Titans QB Cam Ward may not be enough to get him a roster spot.</p><p>Restrepo played alongside Ward at the University of Miami. This alone made some Titans fans excited when the team signed him as an undrafted free agent.</p><p>Unfortunately, his familiarity with Ward will not be enough to make the final roster in Tennessee.</p><p>Restrepo does not have ideal speed or measurables, both of which could stop his NFL career before it even begins. Training camp will be hugely important for Restrepo, as he’ll need to convince Tennessee’s coaching staff that he can play with the pads on.</p><p>If any wide receiver is going to benefit from a rapport with Ward, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/2-titans-veterans-whose-roles-pushed-rookies-2025">it will be Chimere Dike</a>. The Titans drafted Dike, who also played at Florida, in the fourth round. The draft capital alone makes it clear that Tennessee’s coaches prefer Dike over Restrepo.</p><p>At best, Restrepo could earn a spot on the Titans’ practice squad. Otherwise, he will surely be cut.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Also, the organization’s heads have been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/rising-titans-rookie-turning-heads-in-2025-otas">turned by a different rising rookie</a>. Further adding to the excitement, here are two Titans’ underrated sleepers who could break out in the 2025 NFL season.</p><p>One of the players is a veteran who may be ready to turn the corner and become an NFL standout. Arden Key, who will enter his eighth season, could take a leap in 2025. He became a full-time starter last year and is getting good <a href="https://www.tennesseetitans.com/news/titans-love-what-they-re-seeing-from-edge-rusher-arden-from-a-leadership-standpoint" rel="noopener">reviews this summer</a>, according to tennesseetitans.com.</p><p>“I love where he is at right now,” defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson said of Key.</p><h2><b>Titans edge rusher Arden Key set to take off?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Tennessee-Titans-edge-rusher-Arden-Key.jpg"></figure><p>Key enters the year as the Titans’ <a href="https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-most-underrated-players-all-32-nfl-teams-2025" rel="noopener">most underrated player</a>, according to Pro Football Focus.</p><p>“Key has gone from being more of a role player on previous teams to that of a workhorse edge for Tennessee,” Jonathan Macri wrote. “(He played) more than 700 defensive snaps and (landed) six and 6.5 sacks, respectively, in each season with the team.</p><p>“Over the past four seasons, Key has earned a 77.2 PFF pass-rush grade, which ranks 38th among 169 qualifying edge defenders since 2021.”</p><p>One of the things the Titans like about Key is the way he goes about his business.</p><p>“He has taken a leadership position with the people in the group,” Wilson said. “I think he is maturing on and off the field, and you just see it each and every day.</p><p>“We talk about each one, teach one, and he is one of the first guys that is teaching the young guys how to be better, what to do, the tricks of the trade, things he’s messed up throughout his career. Where Arden is at right now, I love where he is.”</p><h2><b>Arden Key has bounced around the NFL</b></h2><p>Key surfaced in the NFL in 2018 when the Raiders grabbed him in the third round. He bounced around with the Raiders, 49ers, and Jaguars before landing in Tennessee. And last season, he started 15 games while matching his career high with 6.5 sacks.</p><p>The leadership things matter to the team, especially with helping guys like rookie Oluwafemi Oladejo learn the ropes.</p><p>“Arden has been around the league long enough, and he’s had production as a pass rusher. He has played with different teams, been around different players,” Titans outside linebacker coach Ben Bloom said. “So, he has a lot of knowledge about rushing the passer in different things, using his hands, and specific moves, and he does a nice job of sharing that and showing leadership in that area with the other players.”</p><p>Another reason Key will need to step up is the absence of Harold Landry, who is now with the Patriots. Landry provided 31.5 sacks over the last three seasons.</p><p>“Harold is not here, but we have to move on,” Key said. “We have to make sure the room is right. We have a lot of rookies in our room, so a lot of technique areas we have to fix, and just getting them caught up in the NFL game of football. The new guys are energetic, especially Femi. But these guys are hungry to come in and play, and they know they have to help us. It’s a great group.”</p><h2><b>Titans WR Elic Ayomanor looking solid</b></h2><p>It starts with how Ayomanor looks on the practice field. The answer is, pretty impressive, according to athlonsports.com. Charles Davis, an NFL analyst with CBS, said the tape of Ayomanor <a href="https://athlonsports.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-elic-ayomanor-chris-godwin-comparison" rel="noopener">reveals good qualities</a>.</p><p>“He has shades of Chris Godwin with his physical build, movement skills, aggressiveness to and for the ball, and his competitiveness,” Davis said.</p><p>Ayomanor said his stature (6-foot-2 and 210 pounds) <a href="https://www.tennesseetitans.com/news/rookie-wr-elic-ayomanor-ready-to-get-gritty-for-titans" rel="noopener">gives him an edge</a> at the wide receiver position, according to tennesseetitans.com.</p><p>“I have some physical traits, a bigger body, so that helps you there,” he said. “At the end of the day, it is a mentality, and you have to have that dog in you, that fight in you, to try and win those battles. That is what I try to bring to the table. I grew up playing hockey, so there is definitely a gritty sense to that.”</p><p>Plus, Ayomanor seems to be syncing well with Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward.</p><p>“It’s been great,” Ayomanor said after the rookie minicamp. “He gets the ball out really fast, which is great. It is something I have to get used to for sure. You have to be ready. You know that he is going to be on time every time. If you’re late, you’re late, because he is not going to be late.”</p><p>Of course, Ayomanor will have to count on consistent play from Ward.

There have been reports claiming that he has been playing incredibly well in this portion of the offseason. But on Wednesday morning, head coach Brian Callahan revealed the one trait about Ward that’s just simply remarkable.</p><p>During a post-practice press conference, Callahan revealed that the 23-year-old quarterback tends to talk trash to the defense while he’s giving Ward the play call. The Titans’ head coach admits that he’s impressed with Cam Ward’s ability to <a href="https://x.com/titansfilmroom/status/1932821125110579362" rel="noopener">talk trash while simultaneously hearing</a> the play call and executing it without missing a beat.</p><p>“I’ll be honest. I’m not used to calling plays to a quarterback who’s usually still talking when I’m talking to him,” said Brian Callahan about Cam Ward. “And so I asked him after practice, I said, ‘Just help me out here. Do you need me to wait till you finish?’ And [Ward] goes, ‘No. I’m listening.’ So, he’s hearing what I’m telling him. It was pretty remarkable to see all the things going on, and how much he’s talking, but still, like, his brain is still with me, I guess is the best way to put it.</p><p>“When I’m calling a play, he’s doing all he’s doing, but he’s listening to everything I’m telling him. He enters right into the huddle and he calls the play and doesn’t screw up the play call. And I thought that was actually kind of remarkable.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Brian Callahan on Cam Ward talking trash while receiving the play call:</p><p>"I thought that was actually kind of remarkable." <a href="https://t.co/5hbR1WEhBi">pic.twitter.com/5hbR1WEhBi</a></p><p>— Justin Graver (@titansfilmroom) <a href="https://twitter.com/titansfilmroom/status/1932821125110579362?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 11, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-news-cam-ward-called-stone-cold-killer-by-nfl-insider">Titans picked Cam Ward No. 1 overall</a> in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Tennessee used the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-news-tennessee-cam-ward-no-1-overall-pick-2025-nfl-draft">first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Ward</a>, who projects as the team’s next franchise quarterback. One Titans insider believes that Ward could face some adversity during the summer.</p><p>ESPN’s Turron Davenport warned that Titans fans <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45438227/nfl-minicamp-2025-chiefs-eagles-steelers-vikings" rel="noopener">should not count out</a> Will Levis during this summer’s practices.</p><p>“It’s critical to get Ward, this year’s No. 1 pick, acclimated because he will likely earn the starting job. But don’t count out Levis,” Davenport wrote on Monday. “Titans coach Brian Callahan said there will be a competition during minicamp and training camp. Both quarterbacks took turns starting in 7-on-7s and team periods during OTAs.”</p><p>Davenport seemed to pointed at the fact that Ward and Levis are splitting reps as evidence of a competition. That may be so, as Tennessee’s coaching staff will want Ward to earn the starting job instead of simply being handed it.</p><p>That plan may already be working. Davenport added that Ward is already gaining the favor of the team’s defensive coordinator.</p><p>“Defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson is already impressed with Ward’s vision and ability to find the open receiver,” Davenport concluded. “That’s an early sign of progress. But the best way to prepare Ward is to increase reps, especially with the first team.”</p><p>Titans fans will certainly have their eyes on this position battle throughout the summer.</p><h2><b>Titans teammates, media hype up Cam Ward before mandatory minicamp</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Cam-Ward-of-the-Tennessee-Titans-1.jpg"><figcaption>Steve Roberts-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Cam Ward has done more than simply impress the team’s defensive coordinator.</p><p>There are plenty of people in the NFL media who are fans of Ward. ESPN’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-news-cam-ward-called-stone-cold-killer-by-nfl-insider">Louis Riddick heaped praise on Ward</a> during a recent interview.</p><p>“This guy is a football savant…He is a stone-cold killer of a leader, and I think that’s exactly what Tennessee needed,” Riddick said during his appearance on NFL Live Wednesday.</p><p>Riddick is confident that Ward’s high football IQ will help him right away during his rookie season. It also bodes well for his development as an NFL quarterback.</p><p>Ward has also earned the respect of his top receiver Calvin Ridley. It was apparently Ward’s composure that Ridley loved seeing during the team’s OTAs.</p><p>“You need that at the quarterback position,” Ridley said via CBS Sports. “You can’t just be an over-thinker, jittery guy. Just gotta kinda be ok with f—–g up, doing good. You’ve just got to have that ‘f— it’ mentality. He’s kind of got that.”</p><p>The Titans will still make Cam Ward earn the starting job this summer.</p><p>But he certainly seems to have a stranglehold on the starting job heading into training camp.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With that, they had the first pick in the draft, and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-news-tennessee-cam-ward-no-1-overall-pick-2025-nfl-draft">Titans decided to select Cam Ward</a> out of the University of Miami to be their quarterback of the future. Along with that, the Titans made some other key additions to their team.</p><p>From a free agency standpoint, Tennessee picked up Xavier Woods (safety), Kevin Zeitler (OG), Dre’Mont Jones (DE), Dan Moore Jr. (LT), and Sebastian Joseph-Day (DT) to be starters at their respective positions.</p><p>In the draft, the Titans took Ward, and they filled some roles with Oluwafemi Oladejo (DE), and Chimere Dike (WR). These three players are poised to find some playing time, but will they take the starting spots of some proven veterans?</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/titans-news-titans-head-coach-brian-callahan-asked-if-cam-ward-will-start-as-qb1">Ward is going to be a starter</a> in from the get-go, but the other two have some work to do. Still, they have a chance to push a few veterans into a backup role.</p><h2><b>Oluwafemi Oladejo over Dre’Mont Jones</b></h2><p>Oladejo was Tennessee’s second round pick out of UCLA. He moved to edge rusher when he transferred to the Bruins. In his four years of college football, Oladejo was able to collect 240 total tackles, including 91 his sophomore year at California.</p><p>His final season at UCLA saw him record a career-high in sacks with 4.5. He also led the team with 13.5 tackles for a loss in 12 games played. Oladejo may not have had a lot of sacks, but he was constantly in the backfield causing chaos. He has the ability to play linebacker still, but UCLA moved him to the edge position, which is where he will most likely play in the NFL.</p><p>That is where he will compete with Dre’Mont Jones.</p><p>Jones was brought in to give the Titans a veteran presence on the edge. If the season started tomorrow, he would be the starter. However, there is a lot of time until week one, so Jones will have to earn the starting position.</p><p>In his career, Jones has 30.5 career sacks in his six NFL season. Additionally, he has 63 QB hits, 210 total tackles, and 40 tackles for a loss. However, he only started seven games last season, and he has struggled. Per PFF, Jones had a grade of 54.3, which is good for 97th among edges.</p><p>He seems to be regressing a bit, so a change of scenery could be good for him. If he continues to struggle, expect Oladejo to get starter reps.</p><h2><b>Chimere Dike over Van Jefferson</b></h2><p>This is not necessarily a starting spot, but Chimere Dike has the ability to win the WR3 position. If the Titans decide to run the offense with three wide receivers, Dike has the chance to be on the field a lot.</p><p>Dike spent his first four seasons at Wisconsin before transferring to Florida. In his final year of college, Dike had a career-high in receiving yards (783), and yards per game (60.2). At the <a href="https://www.nfl.com/combine/tracker/live-results/40-yard-dash/wr/all-colleges/" rel="noopener">draft combine</a>, Dike ran the third-fastest 40-yard dash (4.34) among wide receivers. He is very quick, and could become a deep threat for Ward — a quarterback that loves to throw the ball downfield.</p><p>Van Jefferson, on the other hand, has reached 25 receptions just one time in his career. Along with that, he has just one season with more than 370 receiving yards. The veteran wide receiver is going to be hard-pressed to find consistent playing time in Nashville if he continues to be unproductive.</p><p>The only reason Dike will not take Jefferson’s spot is he could become the slot receiver, while Jefferson lines up on the outside. In that case, Dike will compete with Tyler Lockett. No matter the case, expect there to be a lot of competition in the wide receiver room heading into the summer practices.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
