The Tennessee Titans have officially declined the fifth-year option for wide receiver Treylon Burks, the team's first-round pick in 2022. This decision marks a significant shift in the Titans' plans, especially considering Burks was intended to replace star receiver A.J. Brown, who was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. Since then, Brown has flourished, achieving remarkable statistics and accolades, while Burks has struggled with injuries and inconsistent performances.

Burks, standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 225 pounds, had a promising college career at Arkansas but has faced significant challenges in the NFL, including turf toe and concussions. Last season, he was limited to just five games due to further injuries. With the Titans adding new talent to their receiving corps through trades and the draft, Burks now faces an uphill battle to prove his worth and secure his future in Tennessee.
