Tennessee is in a true Clash of the Titans moment, holding the No. 1 pick and the power to shake up the entire draft board. That means they dictate how this whole thing unfolds. Do they take Shedeur Sanders? Travis Hunter? Someone else? However, they play it, they will be forcing the teams below to adjust.

But before they even get to draft night, they have another situation to sort out. One, which they aren’t seeing as a headache—Harold Landry III is on the move. And the front office’s response? OK.

Per Adam Schefter, the Titans have given Landry permission to seek a trade. That’s a Pro Bowl linebacker, their top pass rusher from last season, out the door. Landry started all 17 games in 2024, racking up 71 tackles, nine sacks, 18 pressures, and four pass deflections. That’s your serial killer at the back.

But football is cruel like that. It’s a business… Landry is 28 years old, about to be 29, and due $17.5 million this season. So, what does Tennessee do? They do not want to fight for him. They seem pretty fine in letting him walk out. seems ready to cut ties.

Landry has been a force for the Titans since they drafted him in the second round back in 2018. He’s totaled 50.5 career sacks, with his best season coming in 2021 when he notched 12 and earned a Pro Bowl nod. But then came the torn ACL in 2022. He missed the entire season, fought back in 2023, and now? Tennessee appears to be looking beyond him.

So, what’s next? The Titans are in a rebuild, and Landry doesn’t seem to fit their long-term vision. Maybe they get a mid-round pick in return. Maybe they just clear cap space and move on. Either way, losing your best pass rusher before a full roster overhaul? That’s a statement.

Meanwhile, for Landry? He’s made it clear what he brings to the table. “Every time I step on the field, I am trying to prove I am that versatile, consistent, and productive player,” he said last September. And teams in need of a pass rusher? They’re watching. Edge rushers don’t hit the market often. Someone will bite. The only question is, where does he land? For the Titans and their fans, though, the question is entirely different: ‘Who’s going to get drafted as the No.1 overall?’

Shedeur Sanders could be the ‘next guy’ in Tennessee

The Titans hold the keys to the 2025 NFL Draft… Do they take a quarterback? Stick with Will Levis? Trade down? Every move they make has ripple effects, and right now, all eyes are on one name—Shedeur Sanders.

Sanders has all the fanfare behind him. Rightly so: from the arm talent to the all-important “it” factor. He has proven why he’s Coach Prime’s son and he could be on his way to the pro-football waving the Sanders banner high.

Titans GM Mike Borgonzi sees the potential. “I think he has plenty of arm strength,” Borgonzi said via team reporter Jim Wyatt. “Some of the (anticipation) throws sometimes make up for lack of arm strength… a lot of that has to do with field instincts too.” Translation? The kid knows how to play quarterback at a high level.

Of course, nothing is set in stone. Borgonzi has made it clear that the Titans are exploring all options. “We could sign a quarterback in free agency and also draft a quarterback as well,” he said. That means Tennessee could go after a veteran to compete with Levis or fully commit to a rookie signal-caller. Either way, Borgonzi isn’t sugarcoating it: “It’s arguably the most important position in sports… so you have to get that right.”

And then there’s the wild card—Travis Hunter. The reigning Heisman winner played both cornerback and wide receiver at Colorado, and Titans head coach Brian Callahan sees the vision. “It’s very realistic,” Callahan said of Hunter playing both ways in the NFL. Hunter logged an absurd 1,484 snaps last season, impacting the game on both sides of the ball. If the Titans want a game-changer, Hunter fits the bill.

So, what’s next? The Titans have a decision that will define their future. Draft a quarterback like Sanders? Take a generational talent like Hunter? Roll the dice on another option? April 24 in Green Bay will have all the answers. Until then, let’s start a debate in the comment section: let me know who you’d want to see in Tennessee.
