Joe Thomas On Burfict: ‘I Think He Should Be Suspended Probably The Rest Of The Season’

We should find out soon if the NFL is going to suspend or fine Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontez Burfict for a few of his questionable Sunday actions in his team’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the meantime, however, former Cleveland Browns tackle Joe Thomas gave his opinion on what should happen to Burfict during a Tuesday morning interview on the ‘Golic and Wingo’ show on ESPN Radio.

“Well, when you take a forearm to somebodies head-neck area, especially a defenseless receiver like we saw with Antonio Brown, who’s already wrapped up and falling to the ground, that’s clearly just intent to injure and severely injure,” Thomas said.
