Former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict is now an Oakland Raider, signing a one-year, $5 million deal with the team Tuesday night.
What makes this all the more interesting, of course, is that former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is now with the Raiders and the two players have a bit of ugly history between them.
You might remember back in the 2015 playoffs when Burfict knocked Brown out of the game, and the playoffs, with an ugly hit to the head. He was thrown out of the game and later suspended three games for it.
Then there was that time in 2017 when JuJu Smith-Schuster lit up Burfict with a violent – and illegal hit – that led to Burfict being carted off the field and Brown yelling “karma!” while Smith-Schuster was being interviewed after the game.
Burfict was also fined for another head hit on Brown last season.
And now they’re teammates. What could go wrong!?
