That’s a pretty good deal for the Bengals. Looked good as a spot starter and is a good special teamer. 

Thanks for LIX, Oren.

    The issue with Milton Williams, and the reason to let someone else overpay him, is that it seems highly possible/likely that his success is due to playing next to Jalen Carter. And the best evidence o

I think they wanted Trotter to have his shot.  They are saving money on the margins 2 mil for Pickett, 2 mil for Burks, 5 or 6 for Rodgers.

Oren Burks to Bengals. Man they are gonna lose everybody but Baun aren't they.

Cheap to not keep him for that

This is Howie's first major gaffe of the day.

Rap sheet:

The #Bengals continue to solidify their defense, as they are closing in on a deal for #Eagles LB Oren Burks, source says. 

He gets a 2-year, $5M deal with an opportunity to start. In the playoffs, Burks stepped in for the injured Nakobe Dean and had 25 tackles, 3 TFLs, 1 sack, 2 QB hits and 1 PD.

Thanks for your services. Heck of a fill in. Best of luck to him. 

I was hoping we’d bring back Burks also, 2.5 a year is super cheap. Between not re-signing him & Rodgers at those numbers I’m curious what Howie’s plan is.

Me thinks Vic Fangio knows his LBs… if he didn’t, they wouldn’t have all had their best individual seasons under him.  

I do think Zach Baun was more of a rare breed, and thus the contract… But I do feel confident that Vic will be able to fill in adequately with others

I would have thought Burks was the second most likely FA to return after Baun.

Did you really think he would be a first day guy? Played a few good games yes, but don;t think teams have him as a top priority type of player. 

Oren Burks

Maybe Fred Johnson

I guess he wants to start and doesn’t think Dean will be out long enough for him to prove himself.

The first thing I thought of was that they must be higher on Jerimiah Trotter jr at this moment in time and rather him get the reps then Burks.

I don't know about #2. He's 6 weeks removed from surgery for a bad injury that had his knee cap up in his thigh.

I think "opportunity to start” in the report is the key for Burks.

If he thinks he’s back on the bench early in the season here, starting somewhere else will get him a better contract.

I felt bringing him back would be a smart call as a starter until Dean recovers & would be quality backup once Dean returns. Maybe Eagles offered him a deal but he wanted a chance to start the whole season.  

 

 

They go from almost cutting him last year to signing him to that.

Yeah, but the Eagles could not really offer him the opportunity to start, and if he is going to build his value for the next contract, that is no doubt critical to him.  Cincinnati could be a very good team next year too.

It’s going to be a rough time on that Cincy defense this year

I think it has to do with Trotter more than Dean.  I also think they like the draft class. 

Really hate not keeping Burks for that cheap
