The disastrous A.J. Brown trade just got worse for the Tennessee Titans. Wide receiver Treylon Burks, the 18th overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, was waived on Monday.

The move comes after Burks fractured his collarbone while making a diving catch during practice over the weekend.
The Titans used the first-round pick acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles in the Brown trade to select Burks, but he never lived up to his billing. He battled multiple injuries, including a torn ACL in 2024, limiting him to just 53 receptions for 699 yards and one touchdown across 27 games in three seasons.
Tennessee traded Brown to Philadelphia for the 18th overall pick and a third-rounder, a deal that has haunted the franchise. Since arriving in Philadelphia, Brown has turned into one of the game’s top receivers. He’s caught 261 passes for 4,031 yards and 25 touchdowns while earning second-team All-Pro honors three times and winning a Super Bowl last season.
Meanwhile, the Titans have gone 13-35 since trading Brown and are now onto their sixth different starting quarterback in four seasons with No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward.
