Titans remain undecided at No. 1, not rushing decision

Syndication: The TennesseanTennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan looks on during the fourth quarter as they play the Houston Texans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025.

Titans coach Brian Callahan claimed the franchise is undecided on plans for the No. 1 overall pick in the draft and insists Tennessee is open to trade offers less than a month before their selection is made.

Callahan pointed to plans on the team calendar for the Colorado pro day, where they’ll finalize assessments of wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders as part of the final phase of their draft process.

“We’re going to do our due diligence,” Callahan said Monday at the NFL’s annual spring meeting in Palm Beach, Fla. “Whatever we’re doing doesn’t have to do with any specific player. I wouldn’t say it precludes anybody. We’re just making sure the process is done the right way.”

Miami quarterback Cam Ward is considered the most likely option for the Titans. Callahan, entering his second season with the Titans, was with the Cincinnati Bengals when the franchise picked Joe Burrow first overall in 2020.

“We’re open to everything at this point,” Callahan said. “If it’s something you feel is beyond the value you ever thought you could get that’s one thing. But you also have to look at what a potential quarterback could look like. Those guys, to me, are priceless.”

Ward’s pro day was his third known gathering with Titans’ officials, who also met with him at the NFL Scouting Combine in February and hosted him in Nashville in March. Callahan said they’ve also scheduled another video call with Ward to exhaust all available options.

Even with Colorado’s pro day ahead on Friday, general manager Mike Borgonzi disclosed at the combine that the Titans had already set their draft board with “only small moves” up or down likely because of the amount of film study and research the scouting staff had done on the class.

Borgonzi, groomed by the Chiefs the past 15 years and part of the organization when Patrick Mahomes was selected, spoke highly of Ward and Hunter. He has not indicated the door is closed on holdover quarterback Will Levis. However, Callahan and Borgonzi have been careful not to commit to Levis, either.

The head coach and GM were part of the Titans’ contingent that also included offensive coordinator Nick Holz at Ward’s pro day.
