The Titans have traded quarterback Malik Willis to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Willis, a third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Liberty University, appeared in 11 games over the past two seasons, starting in three of them. He completed 35 of 66 passes in those games, without throwing any touchdowns and with three interceptions.
This preseason, Willis completed 20 of 27 passes (74.1%) for 205 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception, earning a passer rating of 104.7. He led the Titans to a comeback victory over the Saints in the preseason finale on Sunday.
On Monday, Coach Brian Callahan praised Willis for his performance, while also commending veteran Mason Rudolph, who will be the team’s backup quarterback behind starter Will Levis this season.
The Titans signed Rudolph, formerly of the Steelers, early in free agency in March.
“Malik really showed well for himself in that game,” Callahan said of Willis’s performance against the Saints. “I thought he played well. He put some really nice throws on tape. You still see his athleticism with the ball in his hand. And then, Mason just kind of continues to be the epitome of consistency. Every time he goes in there, the team moves, he completes the ball, and we find success. It’s been really good to see. Both of those guys have competed, and I think they both improved markedly from when we first started in OTAs, and I’m excited about what they’ve done and what that means. … I’m happy for both those guys, for the way they’ve played and what they’ve shown.”
