Titans waive Treylon Burks after franchise-haunting trade
More than three years after the fact, the A.J. Brown trade keeps getting worse for the Titans. The Titans announced Monday that wide receiver Treylon Burks, whom the team selected No. 18 overall after acquiring the pick as part of the Brown trade, has been waived. Burks was waived with injury designation after hurting his collarbone during practice on Saturday, and if he clears waivers, he'll wind up back on Tennessee's injured reserve.

AP The Titans drafted Burks out of Arkansas with the hope that the 6-foot-2, 225-pound wideout could eventually replace Brown, who already had one Pro-Bowl appearance and two seasons with more than 1,000 receiving yards under his belt. Instead, Burks never proved himself to be an impactful NFL player. Advertisement He hauled in 444 yards for one touchdown his rookie year, but notched just 221 yards in 2023 and missed most of the 2024 season with an ACL injury. The Titans signed former University of Tennessee wide receiver Ramel Keyton to fill Burks' roster spot. Tennessee dealt Brown to the Eagles on the night of the 2022 draft in exchange for the No. 18 pick (Burks) and the 101st overall selection, which they traded. 3 Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (16) makes a catch during minicamp at Nissan Stadium.

In his three seasons in Philly, he has accumulated 4,031 receiving yards and hauled in 25 touchdowns. Frustrated Titans fans took to social media at the news of Burks' getting waived, with many teeing off on then-general manager Jon Robinson. 3 A.J.

'Jon Robinson will pay for what he did to this franchise,' said another. 'Good riddance,' a third said of Burks. 'One of too many crappy 1st round picks by this franchise over the years.'

Titans waive 2022 1st-round pick WR Treylon Burks, who injured his right shoulder in practice
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans waived injured receiver Treylon Burks on Monday, two days after the former first-round draft pick injured his right shoulder while making a diving catch in practice. Burks was the Titans' first-round draft pick at No. 18 overall in 2022, a selection acquired by trading Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown to Philadelphia. Burks was hurt more often than not in his first three seasons out of Arkansas. He's considered the third consecutive first-round bust for the Titans, joining offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson (2020) and cornerback Caleb Farley (2021). Burks spent the offseason recovering from a partially torn knee ligament. He had his best season in 2022, catching 33 passes for 444 yards and a score. If he clears waivers, he will revert to the team's injured reserve. The Titans filled Burks' roster spot by signing Ramel Keyton, who signed with the Las Vegas Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2024. Keyton spent time on the Raiders' practice squad and active roster last season. He played in eight games, mostly on special teams. ___
