4. Treylon Burks - Tennessee Titans

Treylon Burks is a player that Chiefs fans have eyed for quite some time. The 2022 first-round pick has fallen out of favor in Tennessee, especially after the Titans brought in Calvin Ridley this offseason.

Originally imagined as a prototypical A.J. Brown replacement, Burks is dangerously close to receiving the dreaded "bust" label. He had only one catch for a paltry two yards in Week 1, and Will Levis' discouraging play under center likely means Burks won't get much volume this year.

At six-foot-two and 225 pounds, Burks is a physically imposing wideout who can high-point a ball to make a contested catch. He'd likely struggle to earn snaps for Kansas City just like he does now, but this wouldn't be the first time that Brett Veach and Andy Reid resurrected someone's career.

It's almost certain that Burks won't be in Tennessee for long. He's not part of their future plans, so why not explore greener pastures to see if he can rebuild his value before the rookie contract ends?

He has only 667 total receiving yards in his career. Even still, there's a reason Burks was such a highly-coveted prospect just a couple of years ago. He fits the mold for the Chiefs and if he's available, could help mitigate the loss of Hollywood Brown.
