One of the reasons it makes sense the Bengals might trade or move in from Burfict...

If #Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict loses his appeal of a 4-game suspension, the guarantees in his 3-year, $33M contract will void. That’s nearly $11.3M. Which means Cincy can move on if they want to.

We wouldn’t have to take his old contract if he took the rap for this suspension. We would only get 12 games this year, but he already knows the system Guenther runs. Nothing so far but rumors, but interesting nevertheless.

I'd assume Burfict would chase the money somewhere else. Money before loyalty with most jocks. Our offer wouldn't be big enough

Now it’s being said we did talk to the Bungles about a trade, but backed off because of the PED issue. Sounds like we are just waiting for the Bungles to cut him if he gets nailed. I think he’d go to Guenther if he had the opportunity and he were cut. Probably not a lot of teams would be high on him and FA would have taken most of the cash out of the market by the time he were available, if he’s cut at all. They may keep him and rewrite a cheaper contract.
