The past week has certainly been eventful for the Tennessee Titans as they hope to get back in the playoffs for a fourth straight year. 

Last Thursday, the Titans traded star wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2022 NFL Draft before selecting Liberty quarterback Malik Willis in the third round on Friday. 

The Titans 2021 starter Ryan Tannehill stated this week that he wasn't informed of the pick beforehand and said he didn't think his job was to mentor the young quarterback. He also said the trade for Brown "hurts."

"That’s part of being in a quarterback room, in the same room. We’re competing against each other, we’re watching the same tape, we’re doing the same drills," Tannehill told reporters. "I don’t think it’s my job to mentor him, but if he learns from me along the way, then that’s a great thing."

While Tannehill has expressed his confidence over the starting job, the team reportedly attempted to pursue a couple of noteworthy quarterbacks before the draft. 

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday on NFL Live that the Titans weighed the possibility of trading for Aaron Rodgers or Deshaun Watson.
