I’ve seen it floated around on Twitter. The rationale is that his contract is huge, they’re going to start a rebuild and a new regime might prefer obtaining assets instead of having a big commitment to a player they didn’t draft.
I’m also ready to include Burnett in the future plans. I’m not going to call him part of the young core but he’s very clearly a skilled receiver and him and Sam have good chemistry. He needs to be on the roster next year unless we go out and sign a receiver plus draft one.
