Over a month ago, it looked like Tennessee Titans fans were going to get to settle a debate that has been raging online for years: "Which quarterback is 'better,' Will Levis or Hendon Hooker?"

This all stems from heated debates in 2022 when the Titans needed a quarterback, and Tennessee Volunteers fans wanted Hooker, while Kentucky football fans wanted the team to draft Levis. It turns out, both fan bases were wrong about either guy being the future of an NFL franchise, but with both of them on the Titans' roster, there was at least going to be concrete evidence of these guys going against each other.

That was until OTAs, when it became very clear the Titans have their backup quarterback in Mitchell Trubisky. Not only that, but the gap between him and Levis seems insurmountable, which means that the Titans are just wasting time with Levis at this point.

OTAs prove Will Levis has no future with the Tennessee Titans

Through a few weeks of practice, Levis has been making bad decision after bad decision, and even though there have been a few highs with the back-breaking lows, the Titans coaching staff and front office must already know that Levis isn't going to be on their 53-man roster.

If that is true, as soon as another quarterback stubs a toe, expect the Titans to be on the phone seeing if they are interested in making a trade for Levis.

Backup quarterbacks are a surprisingly hot commodity, and teams are happy to give up late picks if they think that means they can upgrade behind their starter. So even though Titans fans might not believe he has any trade value, the same seemed true about Malik Willis two years ago, and now he is in Miami making more than $20 million per year.

Who knows which teams are interested in Levis or how much they are willing to give up in a trade, but if the Titans were holding out hope that he would make the decision hard for them, OTAs revealed that isn't the case.
