Ohhh yeah.

Could be.....although PIT holds historical claim to the division until proven otherwise and CLE is certainly making a play.
Be interesting to see how BALTs offense does with a full year of Lamar.

If Packers need an ILB, would they consider bring Morrison back?  What about Nate Palmer or Mason Foster?  All three, if not already signed would be cheap.

Morrison is a run thumper who is not great in coverage.  He was fun to watch in that role, but I don't think that is what they are looking for with Burks out.

Acme Packing:

The Green Bay Packers brought in competition for longtime kicker Mason Crosby this summer, claiming Sam Ficken off waivers. This is the first time that Crosby has faced competition in training camp since 2013, when he fought off Georgio Tavecchio to win the job, leading to the best season of his career.

However, there are signs that the Packers are not yet satisfied with their place-kickers. Over the weekend, the Baltimore Ravens traded kicker/punter Kaare Vedvik to the Minnesota Vikings, reportedly in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick. However, the Packers were reportedly one of three other teams that were in contact with the Ravens about Vedvik, according to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Tomasson phrased his reporting as these teams “wanted to trade for” Vedvik, suggesting that general manager Brian Gutekunst was interested enough in Vedvik to give up a late-round draft pick — though he was seemingly out-bid by Vikings GM Rick Spielman.

Predictably, the Chicago Bears were in that group as well, along with the Packers and the New York Jets.
