From the “no duh” department.
The Tennessee Titans have officially declined the fifth-year option on wide receiver Treylon Burks. This comes as a surprise to no one. They would have owed him over $15 million guaranteed in 2026 had they picked it up.
This closes the book on first-round picks from Jon Robinson’s tenure as the Titans’ general manager. He made seven first-round picks, with only two of those picks having their fifth-year option picked up. Those two were Adoree Jackson and Jeffery Simmons. Of course, Jackson didn’t play on that fifth-year option because the team cut him before his fifth year.
It will also close the book on the worst trade in franchise history when the Titans sent A.J. Brown and a first-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for the Eagles’ first-round pick, which they used on Burks.
Through his first three seasons with the Titans, Burks has 53 catches for 699 yards and one whole touchdown.
