Burkhead only played half the season last year. Projected over a whole year, he would have had 634 yards from scrimmage.
Bernard played in 12 games. His total yardage projected over a whole year would have been 572 yards from scrimmage.

So I'd take Burkhead at $3.5 mill over Bernard at $5 mill.

With that said, I'm hoping this extension means he'll be used more than he has the past three years. He needs to get back to 1000+ yards from scrimmage again.
