The Pittsburgh Steelers only officially released Morgan Burnett on Monday, but it would appear that he has already found a new home. Reportedly agreeing to a two-year deal with the Cleveland Browns on Friday, Pittsburgh fans will still get to see plenty of the former Green Bay Packer in 2019 after he opted to remain in the AFC North.
Signed to a three-years contract worth $14.35 million by the Steelers during free agency last year, Burnett’s debut season in the Steel City was rather disappointing. Limited by injuries once again, just as he had been throughout much of his career with the Packers, the safety would see action in just 11 games in 2018, recording a mere 30 tackles.
