I think he could be a good fit there. Good veteran presence as well. _________________

Looks like we traded Burnett for Wheeler, lol.
Burnett is still a very good linebacker. Good pickup by a team that is desperate for defensive playmakers. _________________ With much cheese,

Beyond excellent at covering TE's. That was his only role on the team though. |

That is good because Bears fans said that Nick Roach has the inability to cover TE's  _________________

I'm thinking the Raiders will use Roach as MLB where he won't need to be in coverage as much, and Burnett as the WLB. _________________ With much cheese,

Yeah, Roach pretty much said he was the MLB. Not sure who's playing where on the outside though. Burris, Maiava and Burnett will compete for those 2 spots. _________________

Raiders needed an underrated ILB for their new 3-4. Well, they got it. _________________ Come Follow The Great NSFL!

Nothing has been reported as far as a switch to the 34 and honestly, signing Roach to play in a 34 wouldn't make much sense. _________________

Nice signing imo.
Burnett isnt great, but hes solid. Plus hes a vet that could bring some leadership to a brand new defense. Were hurting for even below average defenders so Burnett is a welcomed addition. _________________

Happy to see him get a new deal so early. He deserves it. The guy can still play. _________________

I do not see a single scenario where Burnett won't get one of those two spots, unless he gets injured... he is by far the best Linebacker on your team. Its between Burris & Maiava at SLB imo. _________________ With much cheese,

Good signing for the Raiders... But they need to be focusing on improving their secondary. Because right now it's beyond bad. I wonder if they will take Dee Milliner in the 1st round? They should also go after Tracy Porter IMO. Can be had for cheap. _________________
