The New Orleans Saints may watch AJ Klein leave this offseason. With linebacker an ever-growing problem, could the team look at Vontaze Burfict for the much-needed help? After all, Burfict was reinstated from his suspension.
Burfict was suspended for 12 games following an absolutely brutal helmet-to-helmet hit on Colts’ tight end Jack Doyle.
If this were Burfict’s first incident, it likely wouldn’t have been such a harsh penalty, but in Cincinnati, Burfict was responsible for several hits that eventually led to suspensions. He has been suspended four times throughout his career, totaling over 20 games he’s had to miss.
