Titans hope for Treylon Burks to step up after declining his fifth-year option
The Titans will decline the fifth-year option on the contract of wide receiver Treylon Burks, as expected, Paul Kuharsky of reports. The comments of Chad Brinker, the team's president of football operations, on Monday hinted at the decision. Burks, 25, tore his anterior cruciate ligament in Week 6 last season and is not expected back for the start of training camp in July. 'He's got to get healthy first. That's the first part,' coach Brian Callahan said Thursday, via Terry McCormick of 'He's still working back. We'll see where that ends up when he actually gets cleared.' Former General Manager Jon Robinson drafted Burks with the 18th overall pick in 2022 after trading Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Eagles in a lopsided deal. The Titans are on their second G.M. since then. Burks has only 20 receptions for 255 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games the past two seasons combined. He had 33 receptions for 444 yards and one touchdown as a rookie. His only other touchdown in three seasons came on a Derrick Henry fumble that Burks recovered in the end zone. Burks heads into the final year of his contract in his last season to save his Titans career. 'He's got to come in and make some plays,' Callahan said. 'I think he's always had the ability and he's shown flashes of it, but we're just looking for the consistency to show up when it's time to show up.'

Will Levis will work with private quarterbacks coach Jordan Palmer this offseason
The Titans have the No. 1 overall pick and are scouting quarterbacks at the Senior Bowl. There's a good chance they use the choice on one in April. But the Titans also insist they haven't given up on Will Levis. Levis will travel to California to work with private quarterbacks coach Jordan Palmer this offseason. Palmer has worked with some of the best quarterbacks in the game. 'I had some things for him, too, that we both talked about,' coach Brian Callahan said Tuesday, via Terry McCormick of 'I think he's going to go spend some time with Jordan Palmer out in California. I really think Jordan is one of the better guys out there right now in terms of working with pro quarterbacks. So, hopefully that's an illuminating process for him, a different way of doing things. So, he's going to go do the whole thing and maybe be out there for two months or whatever it is with Jordan for that time. Some of the footwork, the base and some of the pocket movement things that have to improve. But I'm excited about that for him. I think it'll be really beneficial.' Levis has started 21 games in two seasons, with the Titans going 5-16. He has thrown for 3,899 yards with 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.
