Burfict is one more serious concussion or suspension from being out for a long time. Possibly for good. He's clearly heading down one of those paths IMO. I think it would be wise to move him and get something while we still can.
Also, the vast majority of people here keep saying he's the "heart of the team"... What are people basing this on? Sure, he makes the defense better when he's on the field. That much is obvious. But does our team become so utterly depressed and lackadaisical when Burfict can't play? Does burficts mere presence really motivate the entire team to play better? I'm not so sure about that...
I think we'd be better off trading Burfict now and begin preparing/adjusting to life without him. We'll probably have to do it soon anyway.
