The NFL deadline for teams picking up fifth-year options on 2022 rookies was Thursday at 4 p.m. ET. One player whose option did not get picked up was receiver Treylon Burks by the Tennessee Titans.
Burks, 25, was the Titans' first-round pick (No. 18 overall). But Tennessee acquired that selection (and a third-rounder) by trading A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles.
That trade already looked bad for the Titans with Brown going on to have three outstanding seasons for the Eagles, including grabbing 106 receptions for 1,456 yards and seven touchdowns, who went to two Super Bowls and won a championship last season.
