I didn't like the Burfict contract from the get-go. I remember being against the extension when it was announced not because he wasn't a talented LB, but simply because I didn't believe that throwing that kind of money at a guy who was bound to miss a lot of time from an extensive concussion history and league discipline.
It's the same reason why I was against bringing Eifert back.
You KNOW they weren't going to be around a lot, but you still invested a lot of money in them, which also means you're not investing a lot of money in their backup, who will end up being forced into playing time.
He's had what, at least 5 concussions in the last 3 years? 2 season ending, 3 if this one ends his 2018 season.
(That said, I am not particularly happy to be proven right. I'd have preferred him to prove me wrong by having a Ray Lewis-type career.)
