Vontaze Burfict on joining nemesis Antonio Brown on Raiders: 'It's all positive, man'

The Oakland Raiders announced Tuesday that they have signed former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict.

The news comes a day after the Bengals released the 28-year-old seven-year veteran known more for his dirty play than his 2013 Pro Bowl nod.

Burfict was a constant threat lurking in AFC North secondaries who piled up tackles, fines and suspensions while with the Bengals.
