The Washington Commanders are still figuring out how to deal with the loss of wide receiver Curtis Samuel this offseason.

Samuel signed a three-year deal with the Buffalo Bills, and that leaves a hole in the Commanders depth chart at receiver. An option to replace him is third-round pick Luke McCaffrey, but as a rookie, he may not be ready to contribute right away.

Bleacher Report writer Alex Ballentine suggests the idea of trading a fifth-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for a sixth-round selection and former first-round receiver Treylon Burks.

"The Commanders are a team that should be willing to give Burks a shot. They don't have much after Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson. The Cardinals brought in Burks for a pre-draft visit when Kliff Kingsbury was head coach. He now works as the Commanders offensive coordinator," Ballentine writes.

Burks, 24, has gotten stuck with the Titans after the team signed DeAndre Hopkins last summer and brought in Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd this offseason. Burks still has two years left on his rookie deal and could thrive with a new change of scenery.

Perhaps catching passes from Jayden Daniels in the nation's capital is exactly what Burks needs.
