Linebacker Vontaze Burfict will meet with the Raiders on Tuesday, sources tell Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). Burfict’s old defensive coordinator, Paul Guenther, is in Oakland, so this could be a natural fit. 
Of course, there are some obvious barriers to a Burfict-Raiders deal, including the presence of Antonio Brown in Oakland. In 2015, Burfict leveled Brown with a hit that garnered a suspension and heavy fine. Given Brown’s temperament, the Raiders may want to ask the two men to bury the hatchet before actually signing Burfict.
From a football perspective, a deal would make sense. The Raiders are in the market for linebackers and they recently hosted free agents Manti Te’o and Aaron Lynch. Also, it’s likely that Burfict can be had on a relatively inexpensive shorter term deal, which could hold appeal for a club that has committed serious years and dollars to players this offseason.
In addition to Te’o, Lynch, and Burfict, the Raiders are also said to have interest in former Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall.
Can just imagine a scene where the Raiders wheel in Burfict on a dolly and wearing a Hannibal Lector bite mask to “kiss and make” up with AB. Vegas will start taking bets on what week Burfict races off the sidelines to tackle AB during a game.
Hahaha! He fits the part of being a Raider perfectly.
LOL that is funny, “hannibal lector mask” lol
LMAO!
I could picture both scenarios and now I can’t stop laughing
Umm…they just signed Antonio Brown. If they sign Burfict, it will just go to show that all that whining the Steelers did over the last 4 years was all an act.
I feel like someone should tell Manti Te’o that he’s a free agent. And the. Reconfirm. He has trouble understanding what’s real and what’s not sometimes.
of course, no surprise here.
Well, that’s just Burfict!
You spelled perfe…ohhhh I see what you did there!
a match made in heaven
Why bring in a guy that’s a cancer to team chemistry…takes stupid penalties on a regular basis and most importantly has had no less than 7 concussions???
Shocker. Gruden raved about the cheap shot artist while a broadcaster.
He doesn’t belong in the league.
He signed
