The Packers need more of a true rangy free safety. I don't consider Burnett great at that position. So unless he came dirt cheap, I hope the Packers pass.

On one hand, the Packers NEED Safety depth... Burnett (even older Burnett) would do a GREAT job in helping that safety depth at SS, nickel and dime

Also that verstility could give Pettine a lot of creative options in different calls to create better matchup, especially when you also consider Pettine can also blitz him.

(And my personal plug that might free up Jones to move to coverage ILBer which I think is a better fit for him, but don't think they'll move him).

That being said, on the other hand, Burnett wasn't happy as the #2 SS and in the dime role... and if he were returning it might be to that #2 SS/dime role (of course maybe nickel starter role and that might solve that, but he'll be competing with the #3 CB for that). And if Amos can play FS (I'm not sure he can), then Burnett to SS and free up Williams for the nickel or at least rotating them and trying to confuse the QB.

And it wasn't that long ago that Burnett was said to be a leader with the Packers, and I'm not sure you want an upset guy that's looked upon as a leader.


Overall I'd be willing to sign him, though maybe after making sure he's not going to be pissed as a #2 SS that he might have to get playing time via other positions (ie nickel/dime).

Absolutely the Packers need a true FS going forward, and they don't have it (unless Amos but I don't think so)... and Burnett wouldn't solve this (unless maybe Pettine plays a ton of cover 2 which he did last year, but I think that was more to protect the coverage guys as he didn't have the talent in coverage he prefered)

But this draft has a stronger number of high potential FS... so I'm guessing the Packers will be grabbing one of them. (I'm hoping for two but that seems unreasonable, those maybe one high one and one lower).

I think he and Amos fill the same Niche on the D. I'd pass unless he'd come cheap and wouldn't mind providing depth and being a utility guy.

I disagree. Amos and Williams will work just fine with Josh Jackson, no longer a rookie, backing them up nicely.
Morgan Burnett has served as a former player, but a friendly no thank you on bringing him back.

Whats next , Dez Bryant ? šŸ˜’

I said nothing about moving Josh Jackson from the CB position. I see Jackson backing up the Safeties at the Nickle CB position. He has the talent, and only needed some experience. I believe that he is going to have a great 2019 season. šŸ‘

Alexander most likely would be starting in nickel due to his quickness... and usually you'd want a quick or experienced guy in that role, and Jackson is a less quick, bump and run guy who main problem is his lack in experience as a one year college starter and needing to learn and grow.
