Performance versus salary tier earns Will Levis a C+ Contract Value Index, with cap structure shaping the verdict. His rookie scale deal carries a $2.4M average annual value across four years—a low-cost commitment that insulates Tennessee from significant financial risk—but the modest salary also reflects organizational skepticism about his viability as a long-term starter. In the 2024 season, Levis appeared in 12 games, production that falls short of the volume and efficiency benchmarks typically required to justify elevated expectations for a second-year quarterback; the Titans' active exploration of draft-day quarterback trades underscores how thin the margin for error remains. At 26 years old and still in his second season, Levis occupies an uncomfortable middle ground—too early to declare a bust, yet already showing enough inconsistency that the front office under new head coach Robert Saleh has begun contingency planning rather than doubling down on development. The CVI grade reflects a contract that is structurally favorable to the team and appropriate for a player fighting to prove himself, but also one that exists in the context of genuine organizational uncertainty about whether he is the answer going forward. Unless the Titans elect to stand pat and commit fully to Levis during the offseason, this rookie deal will likely function as a placeholder while the franchise explores alternatives at the position.
Other same-position deals the Contract Value Index also places in the C band — a quick read on where Will's contract sits relative to comparable money.
A Performance grade for Will Levis is not currently available.
Will Levis finds himself in quarterback purgatory entering the 2026 offseason, with his D- sentiment grade reflecting a franchise and fanbase that views him as more question mark than answer. The Tennessee Titans' active pursuit of draft day quarterback trades sends an unmistakable message about their confidence level in Levis as a franchise cornerstone, while his modest $2.4M salary underscores their reluctance to invest meaningfully in his future. New head coach Robert Saleh's lukewarm public endorsements at the Combine offered little reassurance, with measured comments that felt more diplomatic than enthusiastic about the young quarterback's prospects. Media coverage has consistently framed Levis as an "unresolved question" rather than a building block, with analysts treating his starting job as genuinely up for grabs rather than secure. His career passer rating and overall body of work have failed to generate the kind of confidence typically associated with long-term starters, leaving him in the uncomfortable position of fighting for his role rather than cementing it. The prevailing narrative suggests the Titans are keeping their options wide open at the position, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty that has left fans and analysts decidedly skeptical about Levis's trajectory.
