Nate Burleson’s(notes) return to his hometown of Seattle didn’t quite work out. Now, after disappointing, injury-prone stints with both the Vikings and the Seahawks, may be hopes the third team is his charm.
According to ESPN, Burleson will now try his luck with Detroit, in the form of a five-year deal. The Lions are need of a No. 2 type who can operate well opposite Calvin Johnson(notes), and Nate can be great in that kind of role. He looked the part of a go-to guy at one point, but he’s much better off being a complementary target who can often line up in the slot.
Burleson was hotly sought-after commodity, mostly because of his tantalizing open-field skills as a wide receiver and return man. Sometimes he looks great, sometimes he looks below average.
The good news is that Burleson reunites with offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, under whose system he performed best way back in Minnesota.
