Former first-round pick Treylon Burks has been put on notice this offseason. The Tennessee Titans declined his fifth-year options, which means there’s nothing tying him to the franchise after this season.<\/p>\n

Burks needs to have a strong season in 2025 if he hopes to land with another team next year, but he may not even have security this season. Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report<\/a> went through and listed the best player from every team who could still get cut.<\/p>\n

Burks was his pick for the Titans.<\/p>\n

“Through three seasons, Burks has just 699 receiving yards and one touchdown,” Knox wrote. “He had a mere four catches last year and could be pushed further down the depth chart this year by newcomers Van Jefferson, Tyler Lockett, Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor.<\/p>\n

“Unlike quarterback Will Levis\u2014who is largely expendable after Tennessee drafted Cam Ward at No. 1 overall\u2014Burks does not carry substantial trade value.”<\/p>\n

One thing that has worked against Burks is that he was brought in as a direct replacement for AJ Brown, who has cemented himself as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL since getting traded to the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n

It’s possible that Burks still has some potential. He has yet to play more than 11 games in a season, so that is a reason for his low numbers.<\/p>\n

That said, another injury could lead the Titans to simply cut ties. Burks needs a strong training camp if he wants to stay in Tennessee, and he also needs to stay healthy for more than 11 games.<\/p>\n
