Burris might not be great, but I'm not sure I like the idea of rolling with what's behind him.

Won't claim to have looked, but from what I understand his contract isn't all that expensive. 

4.8M, 6th highest on the team.  Only 1M in deadcap if we cut.

I'm not there tho.  It looks like a big drop off.

coach is not going to tolerate failure...like him more every day

we are in a world of hurt at LB

Conspiracy theory time!:

Pride is a beast of an athlete that does not play with his back to the LOS well---he is a soft cushion CB--I just think he will end up at S eventually.  I have not heard this anywhere, and a DB expert may call my comments preposterous or imbecilic, but gosh darn, I want to see some creativity at these need positions.  Pride is a special teamer who will not see the field behind Horn, Jackson, Bouye, Melvin, and Taylor. Why the heck not?

Next season's needs list

• Left Tackle (maybe)
• Middle Linebacker (how about one that takes shots)
• Free Safety  (or a moderately-priced one)
• Quarterback (even if Darnold is great, what is up with Grier?)

I'd say left tackle is always a need until we can go into training camp knowing who is starting without question.  My gut says, if that isn't Moton, then we don't have that guy yet.

Yeah it seems he can stick with guys pretty well, just not comfortable turning his head around when they call for the ball. Safety would work if he can hit, not sure we've seen that side of his game

If we cut Burris, Thomas and Jansen how much money does that save us for this year? I would think if a good safety becomes available Burris could possibly get cut.

Burris might not be great, but I'm not sure I like the idea of rolling with what's behind him.

Won't claim to have looked, but from what I understand his contract isn't all that expensive.

Thanks. Is that for all 3 or just Burris?
