Now this, and if Burficts appeal fails it means around 11M of his contract is void and Bengals don't have to pay it. The Bengals saw more suspensions coming with this dude and lawyers put a suspension clause in. Bengals were trying to trade him to Raiders Friday. If Burficts appeal fails, the Bengals get out of a lot of this contract, making it even more easy unload Burfict yet again suspended, the Bengals trying to free up cap space money anyway. Had the deal gone down Friday with Raiders, he would already be gone. To those wanting to see Burfict and the new LB added, it could happen, but Bengals trying to trade him makes it look like the new guy's contract means the often suspended Burfict payroll will go to help pay the new LB. The new LB has been starting 16 games a season, something Burfict hasn't been coming close to. I repeat, had the deal gone down Friday, Burfict would be a Raider and already gone. Bengals have been engaged in trade talks on moving Burfict to another team.
Dear Kevin....
The report that Burfict was being traded or shopped originated from some goof of a local sports reporter, Chris Renkel....... from WIAT Channel 42 IN FREAKING ALABAMA. Your post is stupid, ignorant, and contains information that has since been refuted as NOT TRUE by everyone and their brother including the actual local Cincinnati sports reporters, such as Dave Lapham, and others who have connections and insights to the team. Please, don't be stupid and ignorant. You might not have deductive reasoning skills, but you do have GOOGLE. Please use it before posting.
