There's no conspiracy and it's not because he's a Bengal. Burfict has been a personal foul machine since high school. It's who he is. He misses a ton of time, gets unnecessary penalties, and does stupid shit. People want to talk about the defense playing better and him being the heart and soul of the defense, but he's only played in 36 of 64 games since 2014. You can count on him to miss 5-6 games a season.
Yes, he's one of the best LBs to ever wear stripes, but how much longer before he's suspended an entire season?
Yep. All excellent points and exactly why I'm kinda bummed these rumors are false...
One thing though: I guarantee you if Burfict played for the steelers, he wouldn't be as wjdely hated as he is nor would he receive penalties/suspensions for how he plays. True, he's had his dirty moments... But that stuff is rewarded and celebrated in Pittsburgh. He'd probably be the leagues top selling jersey if he were a steeler
