Free agent linebacker Kevin Burnett has a trip scheduled for Oakland on Monday.

The signing of Keith Brooking on Saturday put Burnett's ability to stay in Dallas in doubt.

Burnett was hoping to start at inside linebacker alongside Bradie James, but Brooking's comfort level with coach Wade Phillips was the deciding point for the Cowboys.

Burnett talked to Cowboys' officials about a new contract last weekend. But when things didn't work out, Burnett hit the market on Friday.

i thought burnett had a deal with miami? lol

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Poor guy.

 

[Cowboys22]

I thought he signed in Miami. I guess I missed it that he didn't sign.

 

[Monster Heel]

Have fun winning 5 games out there, Kev.

Can't blame him. This is probably the only chance he'll ever have to make big $.

Oh definitely, it's the RAIDERS.

I fully expect him to sign some ridiculous deal that leaves the LBs that have already signed wishing.

 

[JonJon]

Hmmm....is he trying to be the first player to play for two teems at the same time? He already signed with Miami according to reports.

 

[LowTech]

Now I'm really confused.

 

[tunahelper]

There goes another cool 100 million.

 

[SDogo]

He would feel right at home with that disfunctional franchise.

 

[JonJon]

Maybe the reports of him signing with Miami are false. I would like to keep him if possible...we can't keep losing our young talent. Wasn't he a Commanders fan btw?

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I thought he signed with Miami. That would suck for the poor guy if he has to go out to Oakland to play.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Cowboys need to sign him.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Al Davis? Burnett is going out to see Al Davis?

Burnett is going to make it rain!!!

:jackpot:

 

[CantonBound08]

Dang. The Raiders... I like Burnett. I was excited when we hired him. He seems to play with intensity, but he just can't seem to stay healthy.

Best of luck Kevin.

5 years, 50 mil, 15 mil signing bonus

sound about right?

Wait, I thought the signing of Brooking meant goodbye Zach?
