I agree he is essentially untradeable, but his contract is up after this year and even a conditional 7th would be worth more to us than letting him walk freely.
This thread has essentially turned into the "No, Burkhead is invaluable depth" thread, so my question now is what kind of contract do you hand this guy next year? I'm not sure the Bengals will make an effort to keep him... then again he has high character and is good at special teams, lets keep him around for another 5 years.
Couldn't tell if this was serious or sarcastic, but either way, yeah, I'd be all for this idea, with the assumption that Burkhead is also realistic about his role and accepts a contract # that fits the overall team budget. Maybe he becomes our next Ced Peerman down the road?
