The Tennessee Titans have made a big move to bolster their wide receiver corps by signing Calvin Ridley to pair up with DeAndre Hopkins. This decision came after a disappointing start to Treylon Burks’ career, who was originally expected to be a key player for the team.
With Ridley and Hopkins now leading the pack, Burks has moved down the depth chart to the No. 3 receiver position. This development may actually work in Burks’ favor, as he will now have less pressure on him in what is considered a make-or-break year for the young player.
Burks will now have the opportunity to showcase his yards-after-catch ability from the slot role, with defenses likely to focus more on shutting down Ridley and Hopkins. This could open up more opportunities for Burks to make an impact on the field.
However, if the Titans feel the need to make further changes, trading Burks could be an option to bring in a player like L’Jarius Sneed to address other areas of the team. With Ridley now on board, the Titans no longer need to rely on Burks as their primary receiving option.
Overall, the addition of Ridley has strengthened the Titans’ receiving corps and provided Burks with a chance to shine in a new role. It will be interesting to see how this new dynamic plays out on the field in the upcoming season.
