NASHVILLE – The Titans have a new quarterback in Cam Ward, the first pick of the NFL Draft.
Meanwhile, a familiar face – quarterback Will Levis – remains with the team and in position to compete.
Titans General Manager Mike Borgonzi said on Monday the team made no effort to trade Levis during the draft, while talking up his value to the team.
"It's a lot of value," Borgonzi said of Levis. "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, to have the best 90-man roster, best competition in every room, and Will certainly provides that."
In addition to Ward and Levis, the Titans also signed veterans Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle earlier this offseason.
Borgonzi said coach Brian Callahan will be in charge of dividing reps in the competition for the starting QB job.
"It's a great room we have right now with those four guys, and that will be up to Brian and his staff in terms of reps as we go through the offseason and get into training camp," Borgonzi said. "We'll take it step by step here and that will be up to Brian in terms of who takes what reps at some point.
"We're not going to name any starters right now, here in the offseason."
Borgonzi said he's had a lot of discussions with Callahan about how they're going to handle the reps with the QBs.
"As we head into the offseason here, it's going to be a competition, and these guys are going to get equal amount of reps here at the beginning and they will separate themselves here as we head into training camp," he said. "The idea is to have competition in the room, and Brian and his staff, as we go through the offseason and go into training camp, I am sure reps will change at some point as people separate themselves."
