Report: Titans trading QB Willis to Packers
The Tennessee Titans are trading quarterback Malik Willis to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The move represents a fresh start for Willis, who joined the Titans as a former Day 2 pick but hasn't been able to make an impact in the NFL. In 11 appearances (three starts) since entering the league, the 2022 third-round pick has passed for zero touchdowns against three interceptions.
All three of his starts came as a rookie while replacing an injured Ryan Tannehill. He completed just 51% of his passes in those contests. The 25-year-old also flashed his speed and mobility in 2022, rushing for 123 yards and one touchdown.
Willis is expected to have a chance to back up star quarterback Jordan Love in Green Bay. The Packers' QB depth chart also currently features the inexperienced Sean Clifford and seventh-round rookie Michael Pratt. However, Clifford is expected to be released, Sports Illustrated's Bill Huber reports.
The Titans turned to second-year passer Will Levis as their full-time starter under center for this season. Mason Rudolph is expected to serve as Tennessee's backup after signing a one-year deal during the offseason.
