Watson is clearly the best tight end available. Burgess was improving and learning the system and is likely the best DE out there for us.
I've always liked Watson and I'll be disappointed when he leaves but I've accepted that it's going to happen. Burgess I could give or take.
Regarding downsides, we only see them on the field so it's tough to know other downsides to bringing them back like personality, leadership, locker room presence, etc.
Burgess sucked last season. The downside of signing him is that you'd be taking up a spot that could go to another player, and hoping Burgess didn't suck yet again.

Burgess came on pretty strong towards the end of the year once he got comfortable in the 3-4. Not saying he is worth coming back or that he was great or anything, but he did show signs of life
Burgess sucked in weeks 1-8, and Burgess sucked in weeks 9-17. His level of suck was very minimally improved over the last 3 games of the season, but 2 of those games were against teams that had already checked out for the year.
Duane Starks is happy that his position as the player portion of "worst BB trade for a player from the Raiders" has been overtaken by Mr. Burgess.
I was under the impression Starks came from the Cardinals.
That being said, I have nothing against bringing Burgess to camp.
If Watson is the best TE out there, why did Fells sign before him? How does the best TE out there make it to week #3 in FA?
I think the other teams see a mediocre producer and wonder why that is considering he plays with one of the top 5 QB's in the game.
BB has methocically gone down the FA list and resigned a bunch of our FAs. Technically Watson should be next in line. It looksto be now or never time as far as Watson resigning.
