Pittsburgh Steelers safety Morgan Burnett told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network on Saturday that he wants to be released:
Ian RapoportSpoke with #Steelers S Morgan Burnett, who tells me he wants to be released from his deal before free agency. During his time in Pittsburgh, he felt he played out of position as a dime LB. Burnett, with 2 yrs left on his contract, wants a new start & a chance to play safety again
As Rapoport and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN noted, Burnett played dime linebacker for Pittsburgh after eight seasons as a safety for the Green Bay Packers, and he's reportedly been uncomfortable with the switch.
