While the Titans continue to move closer to selecting a quarterback with the first-overall pick, the team has added some veteran help at the position. The Titans announced today that they’ve signed quarterback Tim Boyle.
A 2018 UDFA, Boyle has settled into a clear backup role at this point of his career. The veteran has appeared in 23 career games, spending time with the Packers, Lions, Bears, Jets, Texans, Dolphins, and Giants. He’s gone winless in his five career starts, tossing four touchdowns vs. nine interceptions in those outings.
The 30-year-old bounced around the league a bit in 2024. He was cut by the Texans at the end of the preseason before landing on Miami’s practice squad. He got into two games with the Dolphins but was ultimately cut in October. He landed with the Giants, where he’d finish the season. In total, Boyle got into three games last year, completing 27 of his 50 pass attempts for 276 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
The Titans already brought in another veteran QB this offseason in Brandon Allen, and the two acquisitions join holdover Will Levis on the depth chart. A 2023 second-round pick, Levis wasn’t drafted by the current Titans regime, and the addition of a second clear backup could signal that Levis will inevitably be shuttled off the roster. There’s also a chance the Titans skip the QB position or trade out of the No. 1 pick, although that’s seeming increasingly unlikely as the team prepares for a second meeting with Cam Ward.
Damn. Another potential Steelers starter, gone !
“Boyle has settled into a clear backup role at this point of his career.”
As opposed to…?
I actually dont understand how he keeps getting jobs. Must be a hell of a locker room presence
I’m pretty sure its because he’s really good in the film room. I vaguely recall Aaron Rodgers praising him for that when they were in GB. So he basically gets paid a NFL salary to be an assistant QB coach.
Thats kind of what I meant by locker room presence. iirc he seemed knowledgable on Hard Knocks that one year. i just find it funny he keeps ending up having to play and the team regrets having him every time lol
That’s exactly why he keeps finding work, he should just retire & go straight into coaching. Working under Brian Callahan & helping develop Cam Ward would be the perfect start to turn him into the next young rising star offensive coach.
The worst QB in the league continues to get work. It’s unbelievable how certain guys once they get into the exclusive club are lifers.
For real. He’s worse than a backup. He wasn’t even good in college.
His college stats are genuinely comical, he’s gotta be a great dude as third QB and once teams get down to him they know their seasons over so who cares how much he sucks
He and Levis went to the same High School in Connecticut…
Someday Tim will be able to tell the grandkids that he was the most “de-activated” player in Packers history…so at least there’s that.
He’s terrible
Amazing how many NFL backup QB’s have long careers based on only one qualification. Psst, it has nothing to do with talent and skills!
Boyle: 60.5% completions 141/233 pass attempts 1,210 yds 5 TD’s 13 Int’s

This guy is just holding a clip board.
