The Tennessee Titans have made a ton of improvements during the 2025 NFL offseason. Tennessee was one of the worst teams in the NFL in 2024, only winning three games and securing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. But now Titans fans have reason for optimism during the second year of the Brian Callahan era.
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 four-year contract for left tackle Dan Moore Jr. But the team’s biggest improvements came from the 2025 NFL Draft.
It was no surprise when the Titans used the first overall pick on QB Cam Ward. 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.
Tennessee also added other talented rookies, loading up on playmakers on both sides of the ball.
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.
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?
Below we will explore three Titans players who are in danger of being cut after mandatory minicamp.
The Titans simply do not need Tim Boyle in 2025.
Tennessee signed Boyle to a one-year contract back in March 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.
However, the addition of Cam Ward changes the role of every other quarterback on the team.
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.
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.
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.
Otherwise, cutting Boyle seems like such an easy decision.
The Titans have almost too many players competing on the defensive line heading into training camp.
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.
Unfortunately, rookie Devonte O’Malley could be...
