Oren Burks News
Former San Francisco 49ers linebacker Oren Burks signed a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million with the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday, according to a source. Burks is a special teams standout who played in 15 regular-season games (five starts) for San Fran last year, picking up a career-high 46 tackles (29 solo), a career-high one sack, his first career interception and a fumble recovery. The 28-year-old former third-round pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2018 out of Vanderbilt was mostly a special teams player in his previous five seasons in the NFL, but he saw an expanded defensive role in 2023 with the Niners. Don't expect Burks to play quite as much on defense as a linebacker in his new home in Philadelphia in 2024.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Oren Burks (shoulder) is active for the NFC Championship meeting with the Lions. Burks suffered a shoulder injury at practice on Thursday and carried a questionable tag heading into Sunday. It was reported that he wasn't expected to suit up. However, trainers monitored him during pregame warmups, so he's good to go. The 28-year-old finished the 2023-24 campaign with a career-high 46 total tackles and one sack.
The San Francisco 49ers announced on Thursday that they signed former Green Bay Packers linebacker Oren Burks to an undisclosed two-year deal. Burks was taken in the third round of the 2018 draft by the Packers out of Vanderbilt. In his four seasons with the Packers, he mostly played in a rotational role while starting just seven of his 59 games played. In 2021, Burks had a career-high 36 tackles (24 solo), a fumble recovery and half a sack in 17 games (three starts). The 26-year-old will primarily provide depth in San Francisco at the linebacker spot behind Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw in 2022.
