Burris, who led the team with two interceptions, was fourth with six passes defensed despite the time missed, thinks he still has a few years left. He said his preference is to retire as a Bengal, but he would also like to retire in Buffalo since he began his career there in 1994 as a first-round pick.

Maybe if he wants to be here and he comes cheap, why not...

I'd rather have Vincent or Taylor. Burris doesn't have much left.

If he came cheap, and doesn't expect to start, I say sure. We'd have our PR guy then.

That would be OK. He's a good guy, just not much of a player anymore. Could help the young guys, too.

I was working at Tops at the time he left for Indy! About a week before he left he came rolling in with yellow sneakers! Not the best story but I thought it was cool at the time.

I'd pass on him. Why sign guys that are not going to start and are about done. He would only take playing time away from Mcgee and Thomas. IF he played behind them why waste the cap space on him. A rookie could do that!

I am not sure he is anything better than a nickel DB at this point and with Mcgee and Thomas I don't see a reason to bring him in. We need a starter if Mcgee and Thomas are not ready...

NO THANKS!!! I watched enough of him getting burned and chasing after defenders when he was in "his prime." I'd rather give odoms a call and see what he's got left in the tank.
