You really think Jets gonna trade AD Mitchell to us? 

No, but one can hope.

He was a pain in the behind at GA, Bama and now the pros.  Talk about Red Flags.

 

You must be some special kind of jerk to run yourself out of the league over it. If/when his frontal ever comes together he can look back and have some serious regrets about how his career went.  Just don’t be a jerk for a while and see how things go.

Bengals release WR Jermaine Burton after he was suspended for Bills game, marking latest off-field issue

Burton did not make the trip to Buffalo on Sunday, and has yet to play at all this season after a disappointing rookie campaign last fall

No and no when it comes to do we pick him up 

[BillsFooteball]

As badly as bills need WR help, this is not the guy to help

Worth a claim? Obvious character concerns but Beane/McD better be well past being above that given our dire WR position. If the locker room is as strong as they say it is, they can absorb one bad boy. He would sadly be the most talented WR on our roster. 

Yes! Take the youth. Kid can play. I would definitely swoop him up 

[SCBills]

Didn’t a scout come out of the draft saying Burton is the worst person he’s ever met?

1) He lives next to the stadium and was late to meetings all the time. By next to the stadium, I mean a 5-minute walk.

 

2) He was seen at bars, at closing, on the Saturday night before 1:00 games. 

 

 

we are talking about Jermaine Burton …not Keon Coleman

This guy is a mess. I suspect we never hear from him again, at least nothing positive.

I'd take a shot at the young man. His upside is high. Perhaps the great culture of the Bills locker room and coaching staff can because positive influence on the young man. Trade him out for Coleman. Nothing to really lose here.

I like this - take the head case with the higher ceiling.

Can you imagine? This guy has too many character issues for the Bengals?!

Worse than Coleman's issues. He was given a chance to take a big role last year with injuries and the first practice where he was to be #1 WR he NO SHOWED and posted on social media from a casino. Huge head case, worse than George Pickens. BIG NO.

 

I’m not saying I want Burton to be a Bill… buuuuut…

 

I’m saying I want Pickens to be a Bill.

I would take a shot at him.  We need WR and this is a way to get a look at a very talented WR on the cheap.  Maybe he was just not challenged enough in Cincy to  keep him focused.  If he knows he is not suiting up for the next game and is always not suiting up it would piss me off too.  Some people are wired to keep busy to keep out of trouble.  Don't look at the person look at the talent.  Kid is ubber talented, and its football first.  He just needs a good mentor.  

[Kaenon]

No no no.

Not until he's been through rehab.
