This team has continually struggled to find high quality LBs so you want to cut one of arguably best LBs of the entire league and replace with who exactly? Suppose he gets cut tomorrow and signs with the squeels or rats or stains.. Then what? I certainly wouldn't want our offence to have to face him twice a year and suppose he does sign within our division then never misses another game till he retires.. Like it or not teams have to make allowances for once in a generation talent that comes along with baggage before he ever signs in the first place . You might not like that aspect of football and few people do ,but it's part of football reality .
I know there's no guarantee Burficts replacement would be anywhere near as good as he is, and I don't expect them to be. I know he's one of the best in the league but the fact is he's played in less than half our games the past 4 seasons for one reason or another. What good is a once in a generation player if he can only play every once in awhile?
I doubt very much he's end up with another AFC north squad. I could maybe see him landing with hue in Cleveland... Certainly not Pittsburgh. He's the most hated man in that city's history. Anyway, whoever he does end up with can enjoy his unreliability.
Quite frankly, I'm sick of the Burfict bulls***. He may be the most talented LB we've ever had, but he's also the most unreliable. Again, we've won without him before. We can do it again. Besides, we'll likely have to replace him soon anyway, whether we cut/trade him or not. He's one or two more concussions or suspensions away from being out of the game indefinitely.
