Toward the end of his career, Vontaze Burfict was more of a villain than a hero. However, not everyone that saw the news about the Bengals releasing Burfict jumped for joy.
Burfict was cut after seven seasons. In his first two seasons in the league, he started off red hot, recording a league-high 177 combined tackles during his second season. After those two seasons is where is started heading downhill.
From 2013 to 2018, Burfict’s reputation went from being a dominant, fear-creating linebacker to being an injury-prone bully looking for concussions and suspension.
While some of that was earned, Burfict ultimately played a crucial role on several Cincinnati teams and should be remembered for those times, not the last few seasons of his Cincinnati career.
