In a bold move that could redefine their future, the Tennessee Titans are seemingly infatuated with quarterback Cam Ward. They have made their intentions clear by attending his Pro Day, dining with him, and even arranging a private workout, all indications that they see him as a strong contender for the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming draft.

General Manager Mike Borgonzi expressed a sentiment shared by many in the league, saying, “If you find the quarterback that you want, and you think he’s a franchise quarterback, then you’re not going to pass on him.” This statement highlights the Titans' commitment to finding a potential cornerstone for their franchise, something that could lead to a significant shift in their fortunes.

Coach Brian Callahan recently mentioned that the team has a shortlist of players they are seriously considering, which includes not just Ward, but also quarterback Shedeur Sanders, cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, and edge rusher Abdul Carter. Given this focus, it seems that the Titans are poised to make a strategic decision very soon.

While Chad Brinker, the president of football operations, hinted that they wouldn’t completely rule out a trade down, all signs point to the Titans falling short of this option if they feel strongly about Ward. As Callahan put it, “Anytime you can find a quarterback that can lift your football team… those guys are worth more,” underlining the invaluable nature of game-changing quarterbacks in the NFL.

However, Borgonzi remains wary of the potential for trade offers on draft day, stating that the phone could ring, but the Titans might not be open for business. They are currently scouring their options, with scouts headed to Colorado for Sanders and Hunter's Pro Day on Friday, alongside a planned private workout with Sanders on April 9.

As the countdown to the draft continues, the Titans seem to be zeroing in on their choice. Could Cam Ward be the franchise quarterback Tennessee has been searching for? With their sights firmly set, it’s clear that a monumental decision looms for the future of the Titans. Stay tuned!
