I'm up in the air with this one. When healthy, he's a really good player. If people have their doubts about Peppers fitting in, the same can be said about Burgess.

This makes sense to me. As of now, Banta-Cain, Redd and Alexander (or Appleby) have roster spots. I am glad that Belichick is trying to do better, or at least trying to bring in someone to compete for roster spots at linebacker.

I'm glad that we are negotiating for Burgess. I hope that we are also talking to Napolean Harris or another ILB.

Well, Caserio pretty much came out and told everyone they were looking to trade for an LB during his recent Q&A session so it's a plausible rumor.

People don't think. THey had doubts about Taylor playing 3-4 OLB and he's done already under Saban.

I had concerns about paying Peppers $17 MIL, not about his abiity.

Don't know about Burgess. Don't really know much about him.

His Career Stats:
Derrick Burgess

Sack totals career- 8 years- 47.0 Sacks

Highest sacks total for a season- 2005- 16 sacks


Hes proven as a DE but can he make the switch to OLB. BB knows something we dont so if we get him well BB will mold him!! This guy would be a short term solution because hes already 30.

i'm not sure why he only had 2.5 sacks last year. I hope that we don't give up too much for this guy. If we have a SB ring in this season, it's worth it.

Maybe because he is being double team, as do the Raiders have any other pass rushers??

And I think the last Raiders who came to us have done ok
