The two-time defending AFC North champions signed the free agent safety to a three-year deal on Tuesday Richard Rodgers Jersey Eagles , part of an overhaul in the secondary that began last week when the team cut ties with veterans Mike Mitchell, Robert
Golden and William Gay.The 29-year-old Burnett has played all eight seasons of his NFL career in Green Bay, collecting 683 tackles, 44 passes defensed, nine interceptions and 10
fumble recoveries. He started 102 games for the Packers and won a Super Bowl
ring in 2011, when Green Bay beat Pittsburgh.”I’m coming in to do my job the best I can do Packers Game Jerseys , wherever I fit,” Burnett said. ”To be accountable as a teammate and earn the
respect of the coaches and get into a routine with the rest of the fellas.”Burnett moved around late in his tenure with the Packers but spent the majority of the time in Green Bay at safety. It’s a position where the Steelers
have a serious need after deciding to part ways with Mitchell and Golden. Sean
Davis has shown flashes during his two seasons and has one of the two starting
spots. The other remains up in the air, though Burnett would figure to have the
inside track over J.J. Wilcox.”There’s things in my toolbox I’m capable to move around and play different positions if need be,” Burnett said. ”But definitely I came into the league as
safety and that’s where I’m comfortable at.”Burnett’s signing is the second by Pittsburgh during free agency. The Steelers signed inside linebacker Jon Bostic to a two-year deal over the
weekend.—Yu Darvish has a new diagnosis on his injury: It’s a right elbow impingement and inflammation.Darvish went to Texas to get another opinion on the sore triceps muscle that flared up again in a bullpen session on Thursday. Following the Cubs‘ 10-6 win
over Minnesota on Friday, team spokesman Peter Chase confirmed the right-hander
had consulted with Dr. Keith Meister, an orthopedic surgeon who is one of the
Texas Rangers‘ team physicians.During the visit Billy Price Jersey Elite , Darvish got a cortisone shot in the area. Chase said the injection would take three to five days ”to settle in.”The 31-year-old Darvish broke into the majors with the Rangers and pitched for them from 2012 until he was traded to the Dodgers last July.The setback ended plans for the right-hander’s return to the Cubs’ rotation this weekend.Before Friday’s win, manager Joe Maddon said there’s no timetable for Darvish’s return.”We’d love to have him out there pitching but it’s not going to happen,” Maddon said. ”I don’t know exactly when it’s going to happen.”Darvish said his strength and endurance was good after he played catch on Wednesday while the Cubs were in Los Angeles. He threw a five-inning, 57-pitch
rehab start with Class A South Bend on Monday.But Darvish suffered a setback in his bullpen session on Thursday at Dodger Stadium.Maddon said it was ”easy” to tell something was wrong with the righty and that he wasn’t using ”a normal throwing stroke.””I watched his workout yesterday and you could tell that something wasn’t appropriate or right,” Maddon said. ”So we had to take it to this next level and
be patient with it.”Chris Gimenez, who caught Darvish in the bullpen Darius Leonard Jersey , said, ”You could tell he wasn’t feeling the greatest.”Darvish had been scheduled to start Saturday against the Twins, but will be replaced by Tyler Chatwood, who came off the paternity list.Darvish signed a $126 million, six-year free-agent deal with the Cubs in February, but is just 1-3 with a 4.95 ERA in eight starts. He didn’t earn his
first win until May 20 in Cincinnati Joseph Noteboom Jersey Rams , his final start before going on the disabled list on May 26 with tendinitis in his right triceps.Darvish had Tommy John surgery in March 2015, and returned on May 28, 2016.—.
