Breaking news: Veteran prospect’ fifth-year wide receiver option has been formally declined by the Tennessee Titans.

Treylon Burks’ fifth-year wide receiver option has been formally declined by the Tennessee Titans. Nobody finds this surprising. If they had taken it up, they would have owed him more than $15 million guaranteed in 2026.

This concludes the Titans’ first-round selection history under general manager Jon Robinson. Only two of his seven first-round selections had their fifth-year options exercised. Jeffery Simmons and Adoree Jackson were those two. Naturally, Jackson was cut by the club before his fifth year, so he didn’t activate his five-year option.

Additionally, it will put an end to the Titans’ worst deal in team history, in which they handed the Philadelphia Eagles A.J. Brown and a first-round selection in exchange for the Eagles’ first-round pick, which they then used on Burks.

Burks has caught 53 passes for 699 yards and one complete touchdown in his first three seasons with the Titans.
