DONE DEAL: QB Will Levis Re-Signs a 4-Year Contract With Tennessee Titans as the New Franchise Quarterback – $105 Million With Massive Guarantee
In a major move that solidifies their commitment to the future, the Tennessee Titans have officially re-signed quarterback Will Levis to a four-year contract extension worth a staggering $105 million. The deal, which was finalized earlier today, includes $65 million guaranteed and locks Levis in as the franchise’s signal-caller through the 2029 NFL season.
The Titans selected Levis in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and despite initial doubts about his long-term viability, the 25-year-old quarterback has shown steady growth and promise. After taking over the starting role midway through his rookie season, Levis quickly began to win over coaches, teammates, and fans alike with his arm strength, toughness, and poise under pressure.
The new contract reflects the organization’s belief that Levis is the man to lead them back to playoff prominence and beyond. Titans general manager Ran Carthon praised Levis in the team’s press release, stating, “Will has demonstrated tremendous growth, leadership, and resilience in his first two seasons. We believe in his talent, and more importantly, we believe in his character. This deal is a commitment to our future.”
The $105 million deal makes Levis one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in his draft class and places him firmly within the top 15 quarterbacks in terms of average annual salary. The $65 million in guaranteed money also reflects the team’s significant investment in Levis as their long-term solution at the most important position in football.
Head coach Brian Callahan, who took over in 2024 and has worked closely with Levis, also voiced his excitement: “Will’s development under our system has been incredible. He’s embraced the process, learned the playbook, and taken command of the huddle. With this extension, we’re building not just around a player, but around a leader.”
Levis’s journey to this point hasn’t been without challenges. After slipping out of the first round in the 2023 draft, he came into the league with a chip on his shoulder. His early starts showed flashes of potential but also inconsistency — something many young quarterbacks face. However, with each passing game, Levis began to demonstrate increased confidence, command, and decision-making.
In the 2024 season, Levis threw for 3,712 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, leading the Titans to a 9–8 finish — just one game short of a playoff berth. Analysts praised his ability to extend plays, his deep-ball accuracy, and his calm demeanor in late-game situations. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport called him “one of the most improved young QBs of 2024.”
Levis’s contract is also a sign that the Titans are prepared to build aggressively around him. With a new offensive coordinator, emerging young talent at receiver, and a retooled offensive line, Tennessee appears set on creating a system where Levis can thrive.
For his part, Levis expressed gratitude and excitement in a social media post shortly after the deal was announced: “Thankful. Honored. Hungry. This is just the beginning. Let’s get to work, Titans Nation.”
Fans in Nashville have responded positively to the news, with many praising the front office for showing confidence in a young quarterback who has steadily improved. After years of searching for consistency at the quarterback position following the end of the Ryan Tannehill era, the Titans believe they have finally found their answer.
With this contract done, all eyes will now turn to how Levis responds to the pressure and expectations that come with being “the guy.” But if his growth over the past two seasons is any indication, the Titans may have made a smart — and potentially franchise-defining
