Dolphins | Consider position switch for Koa Misi Tue Feb 28, 11:50 PM
The Miami Dolphins have not yet settled on their defensive scheme for 2012. The new coaching regime do not plan on using LB Koa Misi at defensive end, and their tentative plans might be to move him to inside linebacker. In 20 of the 28 games he has started, Misi has served as strong-side linebacker. Misi played defensive end in college at Utah. If Misi is moved inside, he would compete with LBs Karlos Dansby and Kevin Burnett for playing time.

Chargers | Kevin Burnett wants to return, but may be too pricey Wed Jul 27, 07:03 PM
After some big signings, the San Diego Chargers may not be able to afford re-signing LB Kevin Burnett, one of their own unrestricted free agents. Some sources have said Burnett is looking for more than $5 million per year, but his agent, Ricky Lefft, said they have not exchanged numbers with the Chargers. Burnett is interested in returning to San Diego, and Lefft believes the two sides will still talk.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers may end up with Burnett after he adjusts his expectations to reality. Teams like the Dolphins, Titans, and Bills are also still the running, but the ILB market is still full of available starters, so Burnett will have to be patient. |
