Commanders caught between progress and risk on looming $3.5 million decision
"When the Washington Commanders gave wide receiver Treylon Burks a second chance after his abrupt departure from the Tennessee Titans, nobody was expecting too much. He's never come close to reaching his first-round billing. The injuries that eventually led to Burks' release from the Titans only further tempered expectations. Burks flashed brief moments of promise, but nothing more. That puts the Commanders in a dilemma with the wideout before he gets the chance to test free agency."
"The Commanders need a dynamic wideout capable of stretching the field. They need someone who can work the middle and be an asset in the red zone. They'll also need some complementary pieces, which Burks looks capable of with another full offseason with the club to build chemistry with quarterback Jayden Daniels and learn the schematic concepts being installed by new offensive coordinator David Blough."
Treylon Burks joined the Washington Commanders after an abrupt departure from the Tennessee Titans and entered a low-expectation situation. He has not met his first-round billing and carried injury concerns that prompted his release from Tennessee. Burks flashed brief moments of promise but produced modestly overall. Washington faces wide receiver turnover and must decide whether to retain Burks before free agency. Burks occupies a middle status between veteran and project. He can provide field-stretching ability, red-zone presence, and complementary play if he develops chemistry with quarterback Jayden Daniels and adapts to offensive coordinator David Blough's schemes. A one-year, $3.54 million deal appears likely.
