And trading Burfict would be a terrible idea, imo. We are really weak at LB. Unless you think Vigil is going to be an impact player as early as next season we need to keep the one good LB we have.
Pac signed a 3 year deal with 6 million guaranteed. All the guaranteed money was paid up front via signing bonus and a $4 million roster bonus. He can easily be cut this off-season if they're inclined to do so.
If Tez continues his current level of play (which I said was the only way I'd consider a trade), then no...he's not a good LB. He looks like "a guy" right now. A relatively expensive "guy" with injury issues and a giant target on his back. I hope he gets back on track, but if he doesn't, what kind of message does it send to keep an overweight half-assing LB on the team? Love me some Tez, but he needs to shape up. Anyone can be replaced via FA or draft.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
