MWil23 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 They needed a box safety after the Peppers trade and Kindred getting cut. He's relatively average. I'm fine with this for a year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSteelers56 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 If he stays healthy, I'm sure he'll contribute to that defense. He's pretty good, just never healthy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Decent signing. Still won't be surprised if they add a safety in the draft. Signing Burnett could just act as an insurance policy if they're not able to find a starting-caliber safety in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Still will take a safety either in the 2nd or 3rd 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEARtheELF Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Friend who is a Steelers fan said this was a solid signing and he played well last year but dealt with some injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This move, like many others that Dorsey has made, just gives us more flexibility in the draft. Burnett isn't anything special and most likely won't be a long-term answer, but he's good enough so that we're not forced to take a safety if there's not one worth taking when we're picking. We can truly go BPA throughout the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say he particularly played well. The way to talk about his game last year was he was there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta wonder if he’s a problem in the locker room or thinks he deserves a 50 million dollar deal, because he’s too good to not be on a roster.

I can't speak on how he looked in Arizona or with the Chargers, but here he was always that guy who would make a couple of splash plays here or there (good scheme + he's a gambler), but was otherwise way too inconsistent to be relied on in coverage. Plus he's as bad as any tackler I've seen with the Panthers. Probably believes he's a starter, which I'm sure he could for some teams, but IMO he's best suited as a rotational/depth player. He's one of those stop-gap guys who will probably be signed right before training camp. Edited April 5, 2019 by iknowcool 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
