Earlier this week the Seattle Seahawks surprised fans and observers when they agreed to terms on a contract to bring back cornerback Artie Burns.
Burns, of course, is a former first round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers who originally signed with the Seahawks as a free agent ahead of the 2022 season after having spent the 2021 season with the Chicago Bears, where he played for Sean Desai. Despite high hopes for Burns, an injury landed him on the sideline for most of training camp, and thus he was unable to capitalize on the open competition at cornerback and appeared in just three games during the 2022 season.
