Cam Ward's QB1 Status Updated by Titans GM Amid Struggles, Jeffery Simmons, Amani Hooker Trades

Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi left no doubt the team believes Cam Ward is its quarterback now and going forward, per comments to reporters at his press conference on Wednesday.

This has been a difficult season for the 1-7 Titans, and Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, has endured his fair share of struggles, although he just threw for a career-high 304 yards in a 43-36 overtime loss to the 6-2 Cincinnati Bengals in his last game.

The Titans have been moving like a team with an eye toward the future, though, as they dealt their best player, defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, to the Chicago Bears for a pair of first-round draft picks. Tennessee also moved safety Amani Hooker and a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for a 2027 second-rounder.
