Treylon Burks Signs One-Year Deal with Commanders

Friday, March 6, 6:26 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks is returning to the team on a one-year contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The deal can pay Burks up to $4 million in 2026. It's a solid second deal for Burks, who is a former first-round pick and did not have his fifth-year option picked up. Through three years in Tennessee and one in Washington, he caught just 63 passes for 829 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He has not yet lived up to the hype attached to his draft capital, especially since he was once supposed to be the Titans' one-for-one replacement for A.J. Brown. Still, getting a deal for the 2026 season before free agency even begins is an encouraging sign that Burks still has a role in Washington's offense going forward. With that being said, though, he's not on the redraft or dynasty radar at the moment.

Rams Tender Contracts to Harrison Mevis, Xavier Smith

Monday, March 2, 5:18 PM

The Los Angeles Rams announced on Monday that they tendered exclusive-rights free-agent kicker Harrison Mevis and wide receiver Xavier Smith. Neither Mevis nor Smith will be allowed to negotiate with other teams this offseason. Mevis, 23, made his NFL debut last year and was impressive, making 12 of his 13 field-goal attempts (made his lone try from 50-plus yards) and all 39 of his extra-point tries in nine regular-season games. He finished the year ranked as the No. 8 fantasy kicker in terms of fantasy points per game at 8.3. In the playoffs, Mevis was a perfect 15-for-15 on field goals (six) and extra-point tries. The former undrafted kicker out of Missouri should enter the 2026 season as the favorite to be L.A.'s starting kicker, which will make him pretty attractive in fantasy football in one of the league's highest-scoring offenses.
