Former Bengals player Vontaze Burfict is back, almost, in the National Football League. Love him or hate him, he’s a player who elicits all kinds of reactions, both good and bad. In Oakland, the 2019 Raiders rolled the dice on the highly volatile, often maligned defensive back. As is usual, teammates loved him, and a highly critical NFL media did not.
Now, the next bit of news will be who takes a chance on him. He will be a free agent, and the criticism he is sure to invite could keep teams from bringing him in much less signing him to a deal.
