Commanders Re-sign Burks: Upside for Future

0:00On March 7th, the Washington Commanders have resigned Wider Seever Traylon Berks to a one-year contract worth $4 million. This comes after the team gave him a shot last season following a five-win year. General Manager Adam Peters is focused on adding veteran depth ahead of free agency. Berks joined the commanders from the Tennessee Titans, where injuries kept him from living up to his first round draft status. Now, the team sees enough potential to bring him back for another season. Fans and analysts note his highlight plays, like a key touchdown against the Denver Broncos, as signs of what he can do. This deal stands out among other veteran extensions because Berks offers upside for the future. With a full off season ahead, Berks can learn the new offensive scheme and stay healthy. The commanders plan to add more weapons through free agency or the draft, but he could become a solid complement to their top receivers. It all boils down to Berks stepping up on the field. If he delivers, this could lead to a longer stay in Washington beyond next year.
