Commanders To Re-Sign Treylon Burks

The fifth-year veteran is signing a one-year deal worth up to $4MM, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport tweets. Washington added Burks soon after his Tennessee release and used him as an auxiliary wideout alongside Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel last season.

Catching 10 passes for 130 yards (and one memorable touchdown) in his 2025 stint in Washington, Burks will attempt to continue his bounce-back effort after a disappointing Titans tenure. The Titans waived the Arkansas product from IR via injury settlement in October of last year, and a practice squad opportunity with the Commanders emerged soon after.

Burks made one of last season’s most memorable plays, snagging a one-handed touchdown reception despite tight coverage from Broncos cornerback Riley Moss during a Sunday-night contest in November. That was only Burks’ second NFL touchdown, however. With Samuel a free agent, the Commanders will see how Burks fits in new OC David Blough‘s offense.

Entering the NFL with injury concerns, Burks missed 12 games over his first two seasons and played in just five games in 2024. An ACL tear ended Burks’ 2024 season, and he sustained a broken collarbone during Titans camp last summer. Added with the first-round choice Tennessee acquired from Philadelphia for A.J. Brown, Burks has 63 career receptions for 829 yards. The 225-pound pass catcher is entering his age-26 season.
