The Tennessee Titans currently hold the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. While they need a quarterback with Will Levis proving he is not a capable starter, this isn\u2019t the draft class to do so. Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward are both developmental, project quarterbacks, and after a horrible first season, Brian Callahan doesn\u2019t have time to waste to show he is the coach Tennessee needs.<\/p>\n

With avoiding the draft class, the Titans need to look to a more proven quarterback already in the NFL. That could be via free agency, but if they miss out on Sam Darnold, or Justin Fields, they\u2019re stuck with a limited ceiling again. That is why instead the route Tennessee should look to take is trading for a quarterback on an expiring contract with their current team. That player being Brock Purdy.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco 49ers had choices to make regarding contracts. Those choices included Trent Williams, Brandon Aiyuk, and Brock Purdy. They decided to extend Aiyuk on a four-year, $120 million deal, and Williams to a three-year, $82.69 extension. With limited cap space left, the decision to extend Williams over Purdy signifies that they want to keep their best offensive lineman, but also that they aren\u2019t confident in Purdy yet to extend him.<\/p>\n

With that lack of proven ability from Purdy to be a true game changer, San Francisco needs a new quarterback. The best way to acquire the draft capital to do so would be by trading Purdy. With the Kyle Shanahan system, it will be more quarterback-friendly for a rookie quarterback, and will allow them to reset their offense and save money for other key players.<\/p>\n

Brian Callahan is used to having Joe Burrow, while Purdy may not elevate teams like some of the upper echelon players, he is consistent and will provide adequate play for Titans that will keep them stable. Purdy threw for 31 touchdowns in 16 games last season and Purdy averaged 267.5 yards over a 69.4% completion rate.<\/p>\n

With a Brian Callahan coached offense Purdy will be reliable for the Titans with consistent production to keep them competitive for the foreseeable future. While Purdy struggled to adjust to what defenses were throwing at him, he still finished 2024 with 3,864 yards and 20 touchdowns, but 12 interceptions.<\/p>\n

As long as Callahan can work with Purdy on the turnovers, he can rest assured that the offense will bounce back in 2025 with better quarterback play from a player that is already adjusted to the NFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
