“Bengals agree to terms with former Eagles LB Oren Burks
Cincinnati values players who play their best in the biggest games. Perhaps that's why Oren Burks will be in stripes. He agreed to terms on a two-year, $5 million deal on Monday and will enter the equation to start next to Logan Wilson. Burks enjoyed an incredible playoff run last year, filling in for the injured Nakobe Dean for the Eagles. In three games, he racked up 25 tackles, three for a loss, two forced fumbles and a pass defensed. Before that run, he was a journeyman; this will mark his fourth team in the last five seasons. But the Bengals feel they might be tapping into something even as Burks turns 30 in two weeks. Last year's starting linebacker Germaine Pratt has requested a trade and is expected to be released if he can't fetch a pick. This move helps grease the wheels on that transaction.”
