Per Watkins here, Burnett is interested in a return to Dallas:

Chase Blackburn vs. Kevin Burnett: The Cowboys released backup inside linebacker Dan Connor because he refused to take a pay cut. The Cowboys are in the market for another one and like middle linebacker Blackburn, who started 15 games last season for the New York Giants at middle linebacker. He finished second on the Giants with 97 tackles and had eight tackles for loss and seven quarterback hits. He also had three sacks and six pass breakups. If signed, Blackburn, an eight-year pro, would be a nice backup for Sean Lee at the inside linebacker spot. But what about Burnett? The former Cowboys linebacker was released by the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday and might be a nice pickup to start at that vacant outside linebacker position. Burnett, who started 16 games for the Dolphins last season at one of the outside linebacker positions in the Dolphins' 3-4 scheme, would like a return to Dallas. He was credited with 109 total tackles (second on the team), picked up 2 1/2 sacks, five tackles for loss and five quarterback hits. Who would you rather have, Blackburn or Burnett?

Dont see Burnett fitting the new scheme. He's been 3-4 his whole career. Pass.

In 09 When sd was here to plat the stadium, Burnett wore a hoodie throughout warmups and didn't want to talk to anyone from the cowboys. He played it up like he hated it here and couldn't wait to leave.....

I remember crayton jumping on his back to get his attention because he wouldn't respond...

It's funny if he says he wants to come back now.

He was a 4-3 OLB in college and one of his best traits is coverage.

If not too expensive, he'd definitely be a good fit at strong OLB IMO

I wouldn't read too much into it. Some guys don't do the handshake and bro hug when they're trying to get ready to battle.

Plus even guys who hate Dallas gotta eat too.

We need someone who knows this defense on the field.

I am kind if hoping we sign one or two of the bears free agents, maybe roach and Israel I.

It's pretty much common practice to bring in players who know the scheme when u sign new coordinators.

Word, yo.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Yeah, I'm betting we sign Roach. Knows the D, knows some of the coaches, just plug and play.

When are we holding the press confrence for the new class?

Falcons | Steven Jackson signs
Thu, 14 Mar 2013 13:14:36 -0700

The Atlanta Falcons signed free-agent RB Steven Jackson (Rams) to an undisclosed deal.

FANTASY TIP: Although he'll be 30 years old this year, Jackson has enough left in the tank to be a useful No. 2 fantasy running back. Joining the prolific Falcons offense should give him plenty of opportunities to score, too, and Jacquizz Rodgers will help keep him fresh as much as possible.
