Raiders shopping Burgess?
Derrick Burgess | Raiders
The National Football Post reports a rumor that the Oakland Raiders are putting defensive end Derrick Burgess on the trading block.
Burgess was originally drafted in the third round by the Philadelphia Eagles, and made his mark for the team as the only Eagle to record a sack in Super Bowl XXXIX. Signed by the Raiders in 2005, Burgess led the league in sacks with 16 and secured Pro Bowl bids that year and in 2006.
2008 was another year where Burgess' durability issues came to the forefront, as he missed six games during the heart of the season. In spite of this setback, he finished the season with 24 tackles, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble.
