He'll probably ask for 7-8 mil per year on a 5 year deal. There's no reason for him to take less than Paul Posluszny or Daryl Washington. 

Pos was a true free agent when he signed his deal, therefore he had every team bidding. Taze is under our control for at least the next 2 years so that situation isn't really comparable.

 

Washington signed a "4 year 32M extension" before the 2012 season. However, it was really a 6 year contract for about 35M because it didn't really rip up the last 2 years on his rookie deal just added some bonuses. So that $8M average is extremely misleading.   

 

If it weren't the Bengals I would say 5 years 30 or 32M would make sense, but taking into consideration what they got Atkins and Dunlap for, I think the 5 year 25M is where they'll end up.

5 years 40-45 milion.  Badasses like him do not grow on trees.  You PAY THE MAN.  I never want to picture the bengals D without him.  We have cycled through so many LBs like Jones, Rivers, Miller, Pollack, Thurman, Harrison, etc.  Even at 10+ million he would be worth every cent spent as long as he is playing.

I agree with most of this... The 10+ million, I don't really like... but if that's what it's going to take..so be it.

I don't think it will though, I'm thinking..7-9 a year

I think that number is too high. I really like Burfict, but the realities of both his current contract situation and his position say that he will be signed for less than that.

 

He's a young guy who will likely see another big contract before he is done.. He would be wise to take the bigger payday now.
