## Resource

The Tennessee Titans cut Will Levis as part of their mandated roster trim and it was a move that was best for both parties. Holding on to Levis to see if a trade could materialize was smart, but having Levis around isn't what is best for Cam Ward's development or for Levis himself. Xavier Restrepo also made the roster after being an undrafted free agent last year. Restrepo's journey is commendable and even if his status doesn't last, this is an awesome moment and keeping him around is best for Ward as well. As the roster was cut down to 53 we saw the Titans part ways with unexpected names on offense like Bryce Oliver and Cordell Volson, leaving questions about special teams and offensive line depth. On defense, the Titans should be looking for depth in the secondary off of cuts as the talent is thin in the backend and some interesting decisions were made in the front seven.
