2024 Undrafted Free Agent Signings/News

Burks never asked to be a first round pick or to be the one that was taken with the pick we got from the Brown trade...avaibility at a position we've struggled at is key no matter what round.
They're both on thin ice imo.

 

Titans had that FA slot guy that had mush-brains while a Titan... .then signed elsewhere and was all of a sudden healthy

 

Humphries?

 

I agree both should be on thin ice. I’m not certain Phillips makes it to the season.
Burks will, BC has already said something about excitement for the guy.

but Com’on now with the “never asked to be first”.
Burks, just like any other player, played in college for hopes of a first round paycheck. He has fallen well short of delivery on that draft position. Phillips was a 5th. Despite injuries and whatever else kept him off the field, he’s probably met expectations of any other 5th round WR.

 

Whatever the reason, I agree, he's fallen short of expectations. Burks will be linked to AJ Brown like it or not and the more Brown succeeds the worse the Burks pick looks.
All I'm saying is he's had injuries just like Phillips but Phillips gets the "Vrabel had it in for him" excuse.

Are first rounders immune to injuries?

 

No and unfortunately for them, it doesn’t pass as reason to not have the bust label at least historically.

I don’t recall any healthy scratch games for Burks either. I think “Vrabel had it in for Phillips” is definitely a stretch but I am curious why he wasn’t played when the season was in doubt and the WR corps wasn’t good anyway.

 

That's a good question about Phillips not playing when healthy....maybe he wasn't healthy?? I didn't like the pick at the time tbh

 

Burks fan here (don't judge) , but for whatever reason he reminds me of Haywood Jeffries. And like HJ Burks hasn't done squat in his first 2 seasons BUT I'm hopeful this season he can get on track.

I'm probably reaching but as long as he's a Titan, I'm pulling for him.

 

I root for titans regardless, I just don’t have any real expectations for him anymore.

 

Burks reminds you of Haywood Jeffires?
