He's also going through concussion protocols again...They should offer him a decent deal but not at all what he's really worth and let him decide to bet on him having a spectacular rest of the season or has another concussion and another fine.
All that said it's time for the Bengals to look to the future at linebacker. They haven't really added a top talent since they took Rivers (I know underwelming as he was...)
So say Burfict is like yes I'll sign for $6 million a year.
He's 1 suspension away from missing 8 games. Can the Bengals really afford that?
While he was a great undrafted free agent story...he was largely undrafted because of his lack of discipline and it's coming to fruition in the NFL. It's not like he was some D2 find. Every team in the league knew who he was and what he was about and only the Bengals could live with that...but not enough to draft him in the 7th Round even.
