The Tennessee Titans managed to save themselves a boatload of money by opting to trade wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for picks, one of which they turned into wideout Treylon Burks.
Instead of paying Brown, who got a four-year, $100 million deal ($57 million guaranteed), they’ll now get Burks on a much cheaper rookie contract that is projected to pay him $14.3 million over four years, per Spotrac. That works out to $3.57 million per.
Burks will land a signing bonus of roughly $7.6 million, and his 2022 cap hit will be around $2.6 million. Of course, being that he’s a first-round pick, Burks’ contract will carry a fifth-year option for 2026.
