Wide receiver Treylon Burks officially committed his long-term future to the Tennessee Titans by signing a four-year contract worth $14,369,592 on May 17, 2022. The deal runs through the conclusion of the 2026 NFL season and carries an average annual value (AAV) of $3,592,398.
Drafted 18th overall in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Arkansas, Burks’ rookie contract is fully guaranteed — a standard for first-round picks under the current NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). The package includes a signing bonus of approximately $7.6 million and standard roster bonuses distributed across the four years of the deal.
The Titans view Burks as a foundational piece of their receiving corps. Known for his physical style, explosive playmaking ability, and contested catch skills, Burks was initially brought in to help fill the void left by the trade of star receiver A.J. Brown.
🗓️ Contract Overview:
•Signing Date: May 17, 2022
•Duration: 4 Years (Through 2026)
•Total Value: $14,369,592
•Average Annual Value: $3,592,398
•Signing Bonus: ~$7.6M (guaranteed)

Though his early seasons were marked by both flashes of brilliance and stretches of inconsistency due to injury, the Titans remain confident in Burks’ development. Heading into the 2025 NFL season, Tennessee is expected to lean more heavily on his growth under a retooled offensive system.
The extension doesn’t represent a new deal, but it solidifies the organization’s investment in Burks through his rookie term. If he delivers in the upcoming seasons, a significant second contract could be on the horizon once he hits free agency in 2027.
Stay tuned to see whether Burks will rise to become a WR1 threat and anchor Tennessee’s offense in the post-Derrick Henry era.
