The Packers continue to look for the gem, but the problem is Burnett is a gem everyone knows about.
Burnett by all accounts should have started over Zach Thomas in Dallas, but Thomas' proven track record gave him the edge.
I think to laugh off Burnett as a backup type of player is a little ridiculous. Is Desmond Bishop just a backup player? He hasn't started much outside of injury, but I hear his name being thrown around for a contract extension.
Burnett is probably going to make another team better. It's just not going to be the Packers.
