Burfict is no stranger to the Steelers.
Just this past season he was fined $112,000 for hits during the Week 6 game against the Black and Gold. The fines were for several plays that were classified as unnecessary roughness. During one play, he appeared to hit wide receiver Antonio Brown with a forearm.
Burfict has also been involved in plays that injured Le'Veon Bell and Ben Roethlisberger.
