NASHVILLE, Tenn.>> The Tennessee Titans know who they want to select with the first overall pick in Thursday night’s opening round of the NFL draft, so stop asking them if that spot is available via trade.

New general manager Mike Borgonzi declined to say Tuesday exactly who the Titans will be taking with that draft pick.

“I guess you’ll find out Thursday night who we pick,” Borgonzi said.

The presumption has been the Titans will take quarterback Cam Ward out of Miami to fill one of many needs they have after three straight losing seasons. The Titans have fired two general managers and one head coach in this stretch.

Borgonzi was hired after the Titans fired Ran Carthon in January. Borgonzi said they did have inquiries into the No. 1 pick with the Titans preparing for his first draft with the franchise. They listened and decided they’re going to use the top pick themselves.

“I don’t want to go into specifics of what the offer was, what the teams were, but there were offers,” Borgonzi said.

Asked about the Miami quarterback, Borgonzi said the Titans, including coach Brian Callahan, met Ward several times along with the quarterback’s family.

“Just the competitive edge that he has, you can feel that talking with the kid. He’s very intelligent,” Borgonzi said. “We’ve had him on the board several times with Brian.”

The Titans have Will Levis, the 33rd pick overall in the 2023 draft by the previous general manager, and two journeymen quarterbacks signed this offseason on the roster. Tennessee asked Levis to go to California this offseason and work on his lower body and footwork with Jordan Palmer.

Purdy reports, Kittle stays away from 49ers’ offseason program>> Brock Purdy reported to the start of the offseason program for the San Francisco 49ers, while star tight end George Kittle stayed away from the start of the voluntary program.

Purdy and Kittle are both entering the final years of their contracts and are seeking extensions.

The Niners have had offseason contract disputes last deep into the summer the past three seasons. Deebo Samuel missed the first few training camp practices in 2022 before signing an extension, while Nick Bosa didn’t get his deal done in 2023 until just days before the season opener and Brandon Aiyuk missed all of training camp practice last summer waiting for a new deal.

Purdy said at the end of the season in January that he hoped to have a new deal done before the start of the offseason program. That hasn’t happened yet but he chose not to hold out as he tries to help the Niners rebound from a 6-11 season.

“That’s Brock,” general manager John Lynch said. “He’s a pro.”

Purdy has made less than $1 million a year for his first three seasons and is set to get a small raise in 2025 to about $5.2 million under the league’s proven performance escalator for making the Pro Bowl last season.

The 31-year-old Kittle is entering the final year of a five-year, $75 million extension that he signed in 2020.
