Risk: If you bring him to camp, it costs you no money, but he may be a distraction. He may call out the coaches like he did to Austin, or he may cause other players to be confused/disappointed if you cut him. If he stays, you may be paying a lot of money for a player who can't stay on the field. 

Reward: You may wind up with an elite, or very good, LB. 

I'd give him a shot in camp if he wants it. If he's done, then he's done. If he's in it to win it, you roll the dice. 

I really don't remember Burfict ever being a distraction. He has issues with his personal play in the past causing referees to scope in on him, but other than that I don't ever remember him being a problem. (other than the concussions). He's one of the better linebackers in the game. He will get to start the season in OTA's and have a training camp this year, so I suspect he will be more of his old self. Absolutely no reason not to bring Brown back, he is solid, and in the short time he had here prior to his injury, he had an interception. Evans continues to improve and should benefit greatly from a LB coach who isn't 90 years old. (Ok, exaggeration.) Bring them all in for camp, let the best men win....
