The Tennessee Titans have officially declined the fifth-year option on wide receiver Treylon Burks, making him an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2025 season. Burks, who had a disappointing tenure thus far, recorded only 53 receptions for 699 yards and one touchdown in his career. The decision comes as the team has bolstered its receiving corps through free agency and the draft, leaving Burks in a precarious position for roster security.

Head coach Brian Callahan expressed the need for Burks to focus on recovery from the torn ACL he suffered last season before he can contribute consistently. The Titans have added veterans such as Van Jefferson and Tyler Lockett, alongside draft picks Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor, intensifying the competition for the wide receiver spots in training camp. The Titans remain hopeful that Burks can develop into a reliable player but must first prove his health and ability to make impactful plays.
