Insider speculates Titans 'planning to move on' from former first-round WR

ESPN NFL senior writer Mike Clay wrote on social media on Monday that the Tennessee Titans appear ready to "move on" from wide receiver Treylon Burks.

Clay speculated that the Titans seem ready to break up with the former 18th overall pick as they meet with a pair of notable free agent wideouts.

Burks was Tennessee's first draft pick in 2022 (18th overall), as he was the sixth wide receiver off the board following Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jameson Williams and Jahan Dotson.

The Arkansas product has been limited to 11 games in each of his first two seasons. Burks is only tied for 10th among Class of 2022 wide receivers in receptions (49) and he's 11th in receiving yards (665), while scoring only one touchdown thus far.

The 24-year-old had four games of over 50 receiving yards as a rookie and posted a career-high seven catches in Week 11 during the 2022 campaign, but he went over 50 yards just twice and didn't surpass three receptions in a game during the 2023 season.

Burks was third on the team in targets (54) and tied for third in both receptions (33) and receiving yards (444) in 2022 but was outside of the top-five in each category in 2023.

Now, with Calvin Ridley (and possibly Tyler Boyd and/or Zay Jones) joining DeAndre Hopkins in the wide receivers' room, Burks' days in Tennessee could be numbered.
