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.

Massive changes are coming to Washington's receiver room this offseason. Only Terry McLaurin, Luke McCaffrey, and Jaylin Lane are guaranteed to be on the 53-man roster.
