BROWNS SIGN MORGAN BURNETT
-
Again....will they look for a veteran SS....like this guy....or will they draft one?
Is he the best FA SS still on the market?
Tre Boston or Berry seems more like a likely option... I guess we'll see...

Boston has ties to Wilks, but we already have a FS, so doubt Berry's a solution there despite the Dorsey tie. Burnett would be a good signing as well, altho he is 30, was drafted by Green Bay while Dorsey was director of college scouting.

Am waiting for a former Waterboy or Janitor to get fired from Dorsey's past to make the media hit list.?.Morgan is 30 & reported good against the run. Coverage wheels could be coming off & if ya can't make the Steelers secondary in 1 season what are ya really getting? Take it from me, I only watch them steelqueens twice per year..Yack!!

Fair point. Steeler defensive backfield has been terrible. Do we need a refugee from a terrible defensive backfield?

well, he was signed as SS...they drafted edwards later, so they pushed burnett to dime linebacker. this is why he asked for his release, similar to HGHarrison, he signed based on a bill of goods he was sold, and that abruptly changed after the draft.
no advocating burnett over boston, but judging burnett on one year playing outta position on a bad defense hardly seems fair considering he produced in green bay.

Officially released ........... John Dorsey on line one
-
Browns to sign safety Morgan Burnett ...... details to come

So sounds like maybe a rotational system at SS again? Burnett as the "Box" safety (There;s your thumper, Tour) and Murray as the "coverage" safety?

The GB connection lives!
I'd forgotten Burnett was a Steeler last season...

Yup.... except Burnett has better coverage grades from PFF.
Step in the right direction...
... but I'd rather have Burnett and Kindred and Ogbah...

I think Burnett is an upgrade from Kindred and Murray was more needed than Ogbah.
Not sure we had a role for Oggie anymore, we signed a starter at his position this year and drafted Chad Thomas to develop last year ... what were we going to do with him? Seems we got a decent player for him.

Posted again because it appears it wasn't read the first time.
"Murray has mostly struggled along with the Chiefs’ defense over the past two years, allowing a 103.6 passer rating into his coverage and committing nine penalties"
We traded one backup who is barely tolerable for another backup who is barely tolerable. Ogbah is on a cheaper contract [1.3 vs 2].
Seriously, stop with the "murray is decent" nonsense. Decent, for murray, is him playing out of his mind.

Burnett is a better coverage guy than Murray. Murray is the new kindred while Burnett is a guy who can tackle and cover reliably. I like Morgan Burnett and his body of work a lot and he played with Randall in Green Bay. Better than peppers as a safety no doubt. Imagine the potent 3 somes with pretty chicks that these dudes are gonna have being the same position and ex teammates

He was also a guy playing out of position. Forgive me if I don't label him prior to actually seeing him play....
