Burfict staying or going?

[Bengalpool]

I don't expect anyone to have an answer obviously, but I think we all kind of expected Tez to be gone by now? Usually players are let go before the start of free agency... Unless he's being shopped to somewhere like Oakland. I'm sure PG would welcome him back under his wing. More likely through FA and not a trade though.

My view on the situation: There isn't one... If they value a player like Hart at 7m a year, then Tez will end up retiring a Bengal. Do I want that? No. It seems his time is up in the Queen City.

My whole point: Based off how things have been handled so far this offseason with filling the coaching staff and the Hart deal, two key words come to mind. Disoriented and Incompetent. Not to evolve an entire offseason around one terrible signing (Fart), but why do so many people think Tez is on his way out the door still? Especially after MB defended him last season? And how often do we see Mikey come out from the shadows to say something about a specific player?

One positive: If we keep him, his money doesn't go into re-signing someone who should be on the practice squad.

Make me think different.
