The 2025 season will be the Tennessee Titans' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 66th overall, their 29th in the state of Tennessee, their first under the leadership of a new general manager Mike Borgonzi, and their second under head coach Brian Callahan. The Titans held the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, their first time holding it since 2016, which they used to draft Miami quarterback Cam Ward. [1] The team will look to improve upon their 3–14 record from the 2024 season and end their three-year drought of both a playoff appearance and an AFC South title. Their primary starting quarterback the previous two years, Will Levis, went through season-ending shoulder surgery in the off season. Brian Callahan has the worst record in NFL history through 20 games. [2] This season began with the team's fourth 0–3 start since 2001, and their second in two seasons. This season began with the team's third general manager in four seasons.

Draft

Free Agency and Trades

  2. The Titans traded LB Ernest Jones to Seattle in exchange for a fourth-round selection (120th overall) and LB Jerome Baker. [5]
  3. The Titans traded WR DeAndre Hopkins to Kansas City in exchange for a conditional fifth-round selection (167th overall). The condition – that Tennessee would receive a fifth-round pick if the Chiefs failed to advance to Super Bowl LIX or Hopkins played in less than 60% of the Chiefs' snaps – was converted at the end of the regular season, when Hopkins played in less than 50% of the Chiefs' 2024 snaps following the trade. [6]
  4. The Titans traded a seventh-round selection to New England in exchange for K Nick Folk. [7]
