Fowler: AFC North Rival A Logical Fit For Morgan Burnett

The Pittsburgh Steelers have already announced that they will be parting ways with 30-year-old veteran safety Morgan Burnett, saying that if they are unable to trade him by April 1, they will release him. Given there being no indications to date of a market for him and his contract that includes $9 million in base salary over the next two seasons, it’s becoming increasingly—arguably overwhelmingly—likely that he will be released.

Regardless of the manner of his departure, one team that figures to be interested in him, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, will be the Cleveland Browns.
