Titans WR Named Trade Candidate for Steelers


The Tennessee Titans are still looking for wide receiver help and seemed destined to land someone before training camp. And when they do, it could mean the end of Treylon Burks.

The Titans are still working on bringing in former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd, but could look at other wide receivers on the open market if it doesn’t work out. When they do make another addition, it’ll leave them with DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley, Burks and another signee. Unfortunately, that may strike the end for Burks time in Tennessee.

Steelers Now’s Nick Farabaugh believes the Pittsburgh Steelers could be a name to watch for a potential Burks trade.

“Burks could fit the type of big, outside wide receiver that the Steelers are looking for after drafting Roman Wilson, who profiles as a slot receiver in his first season. But Burks would be far down the list since he is not someone who profiles as plugging a hole as a proven receiver. Still, with the trade market seemingly coming to a halt for now, Burks at least has to be considered a possible option for the team given his rocky situation in Tennessee,” Farabaugh writes.

The Steelers have been reportedly looking for a wide receiver trade throughout the offseason, but with the San Francisco 49ers shutting things down, the team could begin looking at smaller names than Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel.

That name could be Burks.

Tennessee State men’s hockey cancels 2026-27 inaugural season for second straight year

Tennessee State men’s hockey cancels 2026-27 inaugural season for second straight year


Tennessee State men’s hockey has once again canceled its inaugural season.

The first ever ice hockey team at an historically Black, public university was expected to begin play in 2025-26, but the season was canceled due to a fundraising shortfall. Now, the team has canceled its 2026-27 season according to a source with knowledge of the situation who wished to remain anonymous because the news is not public.

The Tennessean reached out to Tennessee State president Dwayne Tucker, who decline to comment on the situation.

The Tennessee State’s men’s hockey website does not have a schedule, roster, or any team events listed on its website. The site’s most recent update was July 10 of last year, an announcement about the 2025-26 season cancellation. Requests for additional information about the hockey team have gone unanswered.

This delay in the start of the men’s hockey team comes three years after the team’s inception was announced at Bridgestone Arena ahead of the 2023 NHL Draft. The Nashville Predators and NHL were instrumental in bringing a team to Tennessee State, and a representative with the Predators confirmed that support is ongoing.

While the 2025-26 cancellation followed unrest about the school’s financial situation, it’s unclear if this year’s cancellation is for the same reason or if its related to the school’s recent turmoil in the athletic department.

In May, six coaches gave a vote of no confidence for Tennessee State’s athletic director Mikki Allen. A letter to Dwayne Tucker on May 29 expressed concern about the “current direction, leadership, communication, and operational management of the athletic department” under Allen.

Men’s hockey coach Duante Abercrombie was not among the six coaches mentioned in the letter.
