Treylon Burks, a wide receiver with the Tennessee Titans, has been a leading trade prospect, particularly after Tyler Boyd joined quarterback Will Levis’ supporting cast.
Given the necessity at receiver and Allen Robinson’s departure, Burks may find the Pittsburgh Steelers to be a viable landing destination.
Due to his own difficulties and several injuries, Burks, Tennessee’s first-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, has fallen down the depth chart as a result of the arrivals of DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley, and Tyler Boyd throughout the last two offseasons.
But head coach Brian Callahan addressed rumors that Treylon Burks would be moving on day one when the Titans started OTAs.
Will the Tennessee Titans Trade Treylon Burks?
Given the depth the Titans already have at receiver, Burks may compete for snaps, but Callahan says Tennessee didn’t bring in Boyd to replace Burks.
“With regard to Treylon’s function,” Callahan informed reporters on May 9. “He intends to perform in every role. We have informed him of this from the start. He is going to play both indoors and outdoors, and he is going to establish a role for himself.
Since his play has been so good, I asked him to participate in the break after practice today. Treylon put in an incredible amount of training and showed great performance in practice on Tuesday, running 3,591 yards and reaching our team’s and our own peak speed of 22.6 miles per hour.
It remains to be seen if Callahan’s remarks reflect the Titans’ confidence in Burks taking significant snaps in Tennessee this year or if they were meant to be a sales pitch to stimulate a trade market for the 24-year-old.
Boyd, meanwhile, arrives in Tennessee after receiving 67 catches for 667 yards and two scores, despite the Bengals’ quarterback rotation from the previous season due to Joe Burrow’s season-ending injury.
Tyler Boyd is a slot receiver, according to Callahan. It is the source of his income and the location of his production. In addition, he’s a superb slot receiver.
Above all, he’s a fantastic addition to the changing area. He is an excellent worker and a wonderful human being; everything about him embodies what we wish to be. For us, adding him has a significant influence. We’re enthusiastic about it.
Boyd is expected to start for the Titans, but it’s unclear how much of a part Burks will play.
