The warning signs are there, but you don't see them. When someone actually threatens to do it, you call their bluff. Best case scenario....it was a bluff. That's not typically the case though.
I've said cut the bum since he no called, no showed. I still say part ways. But he needs some evaluation....I just feel it would show class on the team's part. That's all.
He definitely needs some help. Wide Receiver is definitely on the draft list again, but it already was on the list with the contract situations. Burton is currently on two paths at the moment. One leads to the grave and the other leads to prison.
It would be extraordinary to see the kid get some help, find a healthy home life, and be a WR for the Bengals, but at this point the last one is secondary.
Wtbs, to your point, I think it would be quite admirable for the team to help the kid get some help, and it would probably be a pretty low cost way of perhaps getting a return on their 3rd round investment.
I mean let's take the fact that he is an NFL WR out of the equation. He seems to be a terribly troubled young man and he is certainly in need of some help or guidance.
