If they let him go, the fan base would point to it as another example of the team letting it's best players walk and not doing everything to win.
The D played well the first three games without Burfict, so I at least have some confidence they won't totally implode without him.
Yeah while he is a good player on the field...it's totally the reason he was undrafted. Fans act like we found some undrafted gem from some D2 school that worked his way into being a star.
Burfict was undrafted largely because he was uncontrollable on the field. That's followed him to the Pro's.
He makes a lot of good plays, but he's undisciplined and costs this team at times.
