Morgan Burnett is staying in the AFC North.
The former Steelers safety will sign on Friday with the Browns, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.
Burnett is expected to compete with Eric Murray, the former Chief acquired in the Emmanuel Ogbah trade, for the strong safety job vacated by the trade of Jabrill Peppers to the Giants.
In January, Burnett made it clear that he wants out of Pittsburgh. The Steelers tried to trade Burnett before releasing him on Monday.
Now entering his 10th year in the NFL, Burnett spent his first eight NFL seasons with the Packers.
I think he should work-out good for defense. jmho
Spot on, Stabber. I will be honest - I did not realize there was a Green Bay connection here. But if the majority of the Steeler fans were not happy with his play last year - they need to remember he was trying to fight through a nagging groin pull. The ONLY those mothers heal completely is total rest. Like the dreaded high ankle sprain - they do not heal during the season.
All that being said - Morgan had some impressive highlights as a Steeler last year. Yes he will be 30 next year, but that is a good thing. The voice of experience to the young kids.
