Despite being suspended for the first three games of the 2017 NFL season, Cincinnati Bengals Linebacker Vontaze Burfict has agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $38 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Burfict has had a reputation of being a dirty player, but he is very talented.

He was entering the final year of his contract. Burfict also had two interceptions, 101 tackles, two sacks, and one forced fumble last season with the Bengals. He is 26 years old and is about to enter his prime.
