With the NFL seemingly going to keep suspending Burfict for hits...this time supposedly for 5 games, how does that impact an extension?
On the field, he's the heart and soul of our defense...but he's a target by the NFL. He's going to play hard and it's going to lead to progressively longer suspensions.
Does this mean we sign him to 1 year contracts? Can we afford to give him a large contract and have him suspended for most of the season? He also has concussion issues too.
Does this all mean that we need to start looking for a replacement? (We love the guy...but if he's going to keep getting suspended can we afford to face that.)
Thoughts?
