Burnett signs with San Diego...2 yr 5.5mil

[Chocolate Lab]

Just reported on The Fan.

Said he'd wear #99, FWIW.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

how much is he getting?

 

[JoaquinFenix]

I just want to know how badly they overpaid.

 

[cowboyjoe]

yep, good reporting chocolate lab

i still think we need to resign keith davis though

 

[unionjack8]

good fit for him there. They lack deoth in the middle. good luck to the guy.

 

[RESIN8]

At least we still have Booby

 

[cowboyjoe]

joaquin, yep you got that right, now with canty, getting a huge chuck on change and hopefully Burnett does too, we can get some good compensation picks now too next year

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Funny, the Fan is interviewing him and he sounds almost bummed out. Very subdued. Or maybe he's just trying to sound cool and he always talks like this.

Asked why he wasn't a Cowboy, he said "I respectfully decline to answer that question." Said he had to move on and do what was good for him. The way I take it is that he didn't feel appreciated here.

Still not a fan of this guy. Not sorry to lose him at all.

FWIW, he's defending TO, too.

Merriman, Phillips & Burnett is a decent LB corps. Not sure which ILB spot he'd take. Probably WILB since their SILB Cooper was the 2nd leading tackler on the team.

 

[cowboyjoe]

of course we have to figure in how much deduction we have to take away for signing brooking, Igor, and now gerald the new safety.

Good luck to Kevin Burnett. He has done enough to get an opportunity to start. I expect him to play very well.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Congrats Burnett, hopefully you'll stay on the field.

 

[unionjack8]

Brooking was cut i think in Jan or early Feb so he doesnt count towards comp picks.

 

[bigE79]

Good luck KB...I wonder if he will do a blog over there.

 

[cowboyjoe]

hey hostile as i understand it, in compensation picks, you have to way how many free agents that you sign too right? And then look at the money you signed them and the players you lost in free agency right?

so do you still think we can get some good compensation picks in 2010 for canty and burnett now, since we signed brooking, gerald the safety and Igor?

 

[cowboyjoe]

cool if brooking was cut and wont count against our compensation picks,

im hoping we can at least get a 3rd compensation pick for canty and maybe a 4th for burnett

i have heard that with an uncapped year, and more juniors coming out next year, due to possibility of uncapped year, that you want all of your draft picks next year and then some

Didn't he say around the time he was drafted that he hated the Cowboys since childhood?

Yeah like 'lock down' TE like John Carlson....

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Darry Beckwith here we come!!

Gonna miss him, but every time he seemed poised to move into the starting line-up, he had some type of minor surgery. Remember his knees were questionable coming out of Tennesee, but I enjoyed his play when healthy!!
