The Tennessee Titans could be in the market for a quarterback this offseason. They aren’t necessarily going to be in the market for a long-term franchise quarterback, but a bridge quarterback could be of interest as well.

After drafting Will Levis in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, he has been unable to prove that he can be a franchise caliber quarterback. Despite the calls to replace him, the Titans might opt to spend their first-round pick on a different position.

If the team wants to make a move to try and improve for the 2025 season at quarterback, they could opt to pursue a veteran signal caller that can start for a year or two as they look for another alternative.

One name to keep an eye on could be New York Jets’ quarterback and future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers.

Sports Illustrated recently took a look at five potential destinations for Rodgers if the Jets choose to move on. Tennessee was one of the teams listed as a possible suitor.

They talked briefly about Levis and his future, but then mentioned that if he’s unable to prove himself down the stretch of the season, a veteran quarterback like Rodgers could be of interest.

“If he doesn’t do enough to convince the Titans he’s their quarterback of the future, it may be time for the team to explore some veteran options in free agency, where a bridge deal with a QB like Rodgers would certainly be of interest,” SI writes.

Rodgers is in the middle of what has been a nightmare season with New York. The Jets have fired head coach Robert Saleh and now have fired general manager Joe Douglas.

While the team as a whole has struggled, Rodgers has not played his best football either. However, he also hasn’t been horrible.

On the season in 11 games, Rodgers has completed 63.4 percent of his pass attempts for 2,442 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.

Those numbers are not on par with what fans have come to know and expect, but the team has been completely separated from each other. No one looks to be on the same page.

A change of scenery could be all that Rodgers needs to get back on track.

It may not be likely that the Titans would go out and sign Rodgers. But, they’re listed as a potential suitor and could end up being a team to watch if they’re interested in a short-term pickup to try and compete.

2024 Tennessee Invite

Jordan Crooks started the first midseason meet with a bang in the 200 freestyle. Crooks led off the Tennessee men’s 800 freestyle relay with a blistering 1:30.00. He is currently the number 8 performer all time, but you could write a book with all of the places this time is #1. Fastest he has ever been. Fastest Vol in history (beating his own record of 1:30.41 from NCAAs). Fastest swimmer this year. Fastest midseason 200 freestyler ever. 

Let’s start with the personal best time. At this meet last year, he went a 1:32.07 leading off the same relay. At the time, this was a two second drop from his previous best time, also leading off the 800 free relay at the Tennessee invite of 1:34.30. He dropped more time at SECs where he swam the event individually and went 1:31.45 and 1:31.17 in prelims and finals respectively. Finally in prelims at NCAAs he went his best time until this evening at 1:30.41. This means in about 3 months, Crooks dropped a second and a half after previously being known as pretty-exclusively a drop dead sprinter.

Here are his splits from NCAAs and from tonight:

What about the fact that this is at a midseason meet? Is Crooks the fastest midseason 200 freestyler ever? Yes. Here are the top 6 midseason times in history:

1. 1:30.00- Jordan Crooks: 2024 Tennessee Invite
2. 1:30.57- Drew Kibler: 2020 Texas Hall of Fame Invite
3. 1:30.83- Drew Kibler: 2019 Minnesota Invite
4. 1:30.86 Andrew Seliskar: 2018 UGA Fall Invite
5. 1:31.10- Drew Kibler: 2020 Texas First Chance Qualifier (October)
6. 1:31.30- Charlie Hawke: 2023 Tennessee Invite

Crooks’ time this evening is more than 5 tenths faster than the next fastest time at mid-season. Drew Kibler is on the list 3 times though, which makes the list look especially fast. Here are the top 6 performers in history:

1. 1:30.00- Jordan Crooks: 2024 Tennessee Invite
2. 1:30.57- Drew Kibler: 2020 Texas Hall of Fame Invite
3. 1:30.86- Andrew Seliskar: 2018 UGA Fall Invite
4. 1:31.30- Charlie Hawke: 2023 Tennessee Invite
5. 1:31.65- Joao de Luca: 2013 Winter Nationals 
6. 1:31.73- Grant House: 2021 NC State Invite 

Only two other people have ever been 1:30 at this point in the season, which just makes Crooks’ time that much more impressive. It does leave the world of swimming with a lot of questions. Is he next to go under 1:30? How will Luke Hobson respond at the Texas Invite later this week? Can we expect another half second drop in March? One thing is certain, however. It is only November, and only the first day of the meet. There is a lot more swimming in store, and if tonight is any indication, it is going to be exciting. 

The Tennessee Titans are on a losing streak after falling 23-13 to the Minnesota Vikings in the team’s Week 11 matchup.

The loss puts the Titans at 2-8 on the year, meaning the team must win out in order to avoid a losing season. The Titans are tied for the fewest amount of wins in the league, putting them in position to potentially acquire the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Sports Illustrated writer Conor Orr also views the Titans as one of the NFL’s worst teams, placing them at No. 30 in his latest power rankings, one spot lower than the previous week.

“Will Levis was hurried on half of his snaps on Sunday. I don’t think we’re under any illusion that he’s the long-term answer and certainly he’s earned a place of deep suspicion among the fanbase, but there are some games where he plays at least halfway decent — Levis bested Rodgers for a barely-positive EPA per dropback rating Sunday — yet it feels like the Titans don’t have a shot,” Orr writes.

The only teams that rank below the Titans in the power rankings are the Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars, who also lost by multiple scores in Week 11 action.

The Titans have struggled with offensive line play all year long, so it’s no surprise that it led to another loss against the Vikings. The Titans will have to get better in that department, along with several others, if they want to move up in the power rankings and grab a few more wins in the final third of the season.

The Titans are back in action on Sunday as they travel to the Lone Star State to face off against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Week 12.
