Breaking: Giants close in to sign a blockbuster deal on titans fans most favorite star man, for a record breaking………
Although the Tennessee Titans declare that wide receiver Treylon Burks won’t be traded, deeds speak louder than words. The Arkansas native was chosen in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but he hasn’t accomplished anything in his career. Burks played in 11 games the previous season, but he only managed 16 receptions for 221 yards and did not improve his position on one of the NFL’s worst depth charts. Following Mike Vrabel’s dismissal, first-year head coach Brian Callahan brought in big-name players like Tyler Boyd and Calvin Ridley to completely overhaul the wide receiver room.
It’s difficult to imagine a scenario in which Burks has a chance to make a splash in 2024 with those two joining established great DeAndre Hopkins. In light of this, the rebuilding Titans may decide to trade Treylon Burks to a team in need of a receiver and searching for an inexpensive dart throw at the position. The New York Giants may exchange a 2025 sixth-round pick for his services, per Bleacher Report.
A Bleacher Report suggests that the Titans and Giants trade Treylon Burks
Right now, the New York Giants find themselves in a difficult situation. For at least another year, Daniel Jones will be the starting quarterback for New York, thus the supporting group needs to get better in order to field a playable offense. Sadly, the team lacks the funds to pursue a top-market talent because they only have $1.1 million in salary cap space. Due to the fact that Treylon Burks is still a rookie and won’t have a significant cap hit, there is a greater chance that he will be traded.
This club may need a third option to compete with Wan’Dale Robinson, even if Darius Slayton is a good player and Malik Nabers has the potential to be a superstar. Although Treylon Burks is far from a sure thing, he’s a good low-risk addition, particularly given that Slayton is waiting around and might be looking to make a trade of his own. Someone has to catch the ball, and Treylon Burks in good health might be able to do it.
Naturally, there should be other clubs interested in acquiring Treylon Burks besides the Giants. The wide receiver was selected in the first round for a reason, even though his career hasn’t worked out in the NFL. Some other team need to be prepared to take a chance on the once-beloved prospect, as there aren’t enough trustworthy receivers in the league to satisfy demand.
Additional Possible Locations
The Buffalo Bills
The Bills attempted to replace Stefon Diggs by bringing in a small army. The squad now has tight ends Dalton Kincaid, Curtis Samuel, and Khalil Shakir lined up to catch passes from standout quarterback Josh Allen after parting ways with their top receiver. Although each of these three may be trusted on its own, Kincaid is the only one with a sizable upside. The financially constrained Bills might make a deal for the inexpensive veteran Treylon Burks to see if they can develop his latent potential.
Ravens Baltimore
Last season, Lamar Jackson won MVP honors and had two receivers that were good enough to start. Odell Beckham has moved to Miami, thus Baltimore needs to try to recruit another trustworthy target. Treylon Burks and Rashod Bateman are raw players at this stage of their careers who might compete for starting roles if they are acquired through trade. Although DeVontez Walker, a rookie, and Nelson Agholor are better suited for depth positions, Burks has the raw ability to be more.
Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs
Xavier Worthy has already had a hamstring injury, and Rashee Rice will be suspended in some capacity. That means that Marquise Brown, Kadarius Toney, and Skyy Moore may be the only wide receivers left on Kansas City’s newly revised depth chart. Although Treylon Burks’s career is still very much in doubt, it’s difficult to see the trading target being worse than Toney and Moore. He’ll be an improvement over those two from last year if he just does not deliberately hurt the squad.
New Orleans Saints
Kansas City Chiefs
The Saints are unable to afford to replace Michael Thomas with a costly player because they are stuck in their own self-imposed wage cap hell. All they can do is hope that a change of scenery brings out the best in the Arkansas product by trading for Treylon Burks. Since Derek Carr is only as good as his environment, it is imperative that New Orleans locates three trustworthy wide receivers to make up for the dubious offensive line.
Los Angeles Chargers
One might make a compelling argument that the Chargers own the weakest group of wide receivers in the NFL. While Ladd McConkey shows promise, the other players in the group are either unproven late-round selections or unimpressive journeymen. Treylon Burks has the potential to develop into a reliable NFL player, but he is by no means a safe trade target. Los Angeles should take as many chances as possible at the position and see what sticks, given the current situation of the depth chart.
