He played all over(being the most versatile guy they had) because of all of the injuries the packers had.
As for the contract it cant be that much since we dont have much room. He might have decided to do what Matthieu did.
We were lacking that leader on D after Shazier went down. With so many young players at key positions, looked like they lost a step..lost in general at times in games without Shazier. And like James Jones said, Burnett was like the QB of that defense. Thats exactly whats needed for next year. No rookie is going to come in and be able to do that, with where we are selecting in the draft.
Not only will Burnett make the D better at safety(our biggest problem being able to tackle, is what hes best at) but will also have an impact on our other players. Davis being able to switch to FS , will allow us to get the most out of him now as well.
Theres alot of highlight videos of him out there for some who havent seen much of him, but its easy to make someone stand out in those. Heres a vid where hes mic'ed up in a game where the packers lost. You get a glimpse of the type of leader he is on D. And how much more aggressive of a tackler he is(rarely misses) than what we've seen from our defense recently.
