The Washington Commanders are re-signing wide receiver Treylon Burks to a one-year contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal for the former first-round pick is reportedly worth a maximum of $4 million.
Burks, who was originally selected by the Tennessee Titans with the 18th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, joined the Commanders last season. Despite appearing in limited action, Burks reportedly impressed the coaching staff and front office enough to warrant a return to the roster for the upcoming campaign. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound receiver provides Washington with a physical target as they look to bolster their offensive weapons.
During his initial years in the league with the Titans, Burks showed flashes of the playmaking ability that made him a standout at the University of Arkansas. His transition to Washington last year was viewed as a fresh start, and this new agreement suggests the team sees continued potential in the young wideout. The $4 million maximum value of the contract indicates a deal that likely includes performance-based incentives as he competes for a larger role in the Commanders' rotation.
