Burgess to New England Heating Up?
Multiple reports say Burgess may be had for a second- or third-round pick, and the Pats accrued many of those on draft weekend. Interesting to note, too, that the Raiders only charged New England a fourth-rounder for WR Randy Moss two years ago.
But back to Burgess. He’s coming off an injury-plagued 2008 season, but he can harass quarterbacks, presumably as a linebacker in the Patriots’ 3-4 look (the Raiders play a 4-3 defense). Burgess had 35 sacks between 2005-2007, making two Pro Bowls despite playing for one of the NFL’s worst teams.
