I hope he does as well. We could use more players who play with the same drive and tenacity as Burfict. Dude might be a bonehead from time to time, but he single handedly kept us in the playoff game. Our other LB's aren't good or are unproven, so it would be nice to have a good vet LB come in and play with that same passion.
