Moving to Cincinnati Burks agreed to a two-year, $5-million deal with the Bengals on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact The deal comes with an "opportunity to start" for the linebacker who stepped up in place of the injured Nakobe Dean during Philadelphia's recent Super Bowl run, per Rapoport. In four playoff games, Burks recorded 25 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sack, and a pass breakup. Burks has played more on special teams than defense during six of his first seven NFL seasons, making just 17 combined starts at linebacker in the regular season.

Impact Burks was a core special teamer who played just 41 defense snaps through Week 16. His biggest play of the year came when he forced a fumble on the opening kickoff of the wild-card win against the Packers, and he stepped up into a starting role after inside linebacker Nakobe Dean suffered a season-ending torn patellar tendon in this game. Burks tallied 20 tackles while starting the Eagles' final three playoff games, and he finished with five stops in the Super Bowl win against Kansas City. He'll now be an unrestricted free agent heading into his age-30 season in 2025.

Likely starting in divisional round Burks is expected to start in place of the injured Nakobe Dean (knee) in Sunday's divisional round playoff game, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Impact With Dean sustaining a torn patellar tendon in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Packers, Burks stepped in and saw more defensive work in the second half, finishing the contest with five total tackles and one forced fumble. The Vanderbilt product is likely to remain in the Eagles' first-team defensive lineup with Dean sidelined for the remainder of the season. Burks is expected to start alongside Zack Baun as part of Philadelphia's top inside linebacker duo in the divisional round matchup against the winner Monday night's wild-card game between the Vikings and the Rams.

Impresses in start Burks recorded eight total tackles (two solo) and one forced fumble in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Cowboys.
Impact Burks filled in for the injured Nakobe Dean (abdomen) in the Week 17 blowout win, playing 100 percent of Philadelphia's defensive snaps. He impressed, leading the Eagles defense in total tackles while also stripping Jake Ferguson in the middle of the second quarter. If Dean plays through his abdomen issue in the Week 18 matchup against the Giants, Burks is expected to return to his reserve role. However, with the Eagles already having the secured the NFC's No. 2 seed, Dean will likely rest, paving the way for Burks to make his second consecutive start.
