Re-sign Burgess. He deserves it. Even when he is down he is better than a majority of the players in the league. He commands double teams, which at his size is a huge compliment.

I watched that movie, I didn't know Burgess was in it.

I still believe Derrick Burgess to be a down-to-earth character and a great DE.

We need to lock him up long term.

Longer than longterm.

I would love to lock up Burgess long term...but Aso is number one on my list.

I dont think i can remember an athlete in the last two decades who actually spoke those words and followed through. Its not just lip service. I believe those people eventually get what they deserve, hope derrick gets what he deserves.

damn straight! he's gonna be better next year if Tommy Kelly steps up.

[Raider4Life84]

he deserves to get paid

[Berkeley Boy]

I hope we (Al Davis) do the right thing and pay him accordingly. I like his style.

he made it against a lot of obsticles... i remember thinking Derrick Burgess was a looong shot back when he was signed....

it'd be nice if Javon Walker follows his path.


thanks for the read R40!
