Burfict would get signed immediately by a load of teams. What good team would make the (helpless in space) Vigil their 3rd LB ?

I would hardly call Vigil "helpless in space" as he was the leading tackler before going down with injury.  He will be a part of the LB corps moving forward.  As far as Burfict goes, I don't think you release him and let someone else get a motivated Burfict.  You just keep him but don't plan on him making the impact.  If he shows up in great shape with his head on straight, awesome.  Since that has about a 1% chance of happening, you need to make some moves in FA to shore up that squad.  

Ideally, they get two impact FA LBs and Burfict realizes that he won't be playing unless he picks things up.  My hope is re-sign Preston Brown and one other LB that can be a solid player in nickel with Vigil.  With Evans providing some depth and special teams, they could also look to draft a LB but it wouldn't have to be their first overall pick.
