I think....the plan was for Burnett to be the starter (at SS) and work in Edmunds on sub pkgs (LY 1st rd pick) as the season went along.
True to historical form...Burnett was nicked up in camp and not ready for week one...Edmunds got the SS job and played well enough to keep it when Burnett returned...so essentially he played the role that Edmunds was likely going to play...It probably was going to be more of the same this season, Burnett requested a release...he was shopped around in trade, but no takers. Now with Mark Barron signed there was no need for Burnett's services.
Are they moving Barron back to safety? Rams used him at LB.
