free-agent linebacker was arrested early Saturday morning in Nevada on a misdemeanor battery charge.
According to Clark County Detention Center records (h/t ESPN), Burfict was being held on $1,000 bond and has a hearing scheduled for Monday.
Burfict spent eight seasons in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals and then-Oakland Raiders, but no team signed him during the offseason.
The 30-year-old veteran was a productive player for much of his career and even earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2013, but he is perhaps best known for the multiple times he was suspended for illegal hits over the years.
