Also, you never know, this signing could mark the end of Burfict's time here.

Yep. At 26 I won't say he's washed up either. He's been generally durable most of his career.

That said, we do need a LB who can cover. It's pretty imperative. Brown is basically a run stuffer. Can he cover some - yes. But he's not good to great at it.

IF we trop Brown, Burfict, and Vigil out there we're better than last year...but we're not going to be good in pass coverage which was the achilles heal of the LB's last year.
