NFC Whispers
We hear the Packers have a serious interest in Cowboys free-agent LB Kevin Burnett as a possible candidate for the starting ROLB job, but that they have a lot of competition for his services. Word is the Raiders, Chargers and Texans are also very interested in Burnett, a former second-round pick who has been primarily a backup throughout his four years in Dallas.
Don’t expect the Lions to go after recently released SS Roy Williams, late of the Cowboys.
It is believed that Dallas offered Williams to the Lions in the Jon Kitna trade talks before settling on sending CB Anthony Henry to Detroit. The Lions apparently weren’t interested then and don’t appear to be now.
