He got popped for a PED. Didn't beat his wife, drive drunk, etc. Cutting him seems wayyyyy to reactionary
It's not just about that. It's about the fact that Burfict will have played in 33 games out of 70 once this suspension is over. He's had several suspensions, fines, injuries, etc. All resulting in an absurd amount of time missed.
Simply put, he cannot be relied on. I'm ready to move on. This team has played without Burfict plenty of times and have won without him plenty of times. We're used to it, unfortunately. I say cut or trade him, and build for the future without him. Hopefully a future with a superstar LB that actually can be relied on.
