The Cincinnati Bengals have officially signed veteran linebacker Oren Burks to a two-year contract, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Burks has spent seven seasons in the NFL, splitting his career thus far between the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers, and Philadelphia Eagles. At the moment, Burks seems slated to enter training camp as the leading candidate to be the Bengals top SAM linebacker.
Burks joined the Niners in free agency prior to the 2022 season, inking a three-year deal as one of several additions angled at revamping San Francisco’s special teams unit.
