B/c they only like tackles that are tall with huge wingspans. They have a specific type at tackle and they stick to it. McKivitz, MM, Compton, TW, and Moore are all 6'5 and up with super long wingspans. Burford doesn't fit. He was drafted to be a guard. Not sure why he's regressed so much from last year

Has he though ? I remember he was struggling in a lot of reps, and that's why he split reps with Brunskill. The expectation was him taking a leap forward.

Jaylon Moore earlier on in his career was playing G, maybe they give him another shot once Trent returns?

I always liked Brunskill and he never complained despite playing pretty much every position on the line besides LG during his tenure. I think they did save money by not paying Brunskill but Burford's lack of progress is very troubling

Burford has regressed in PP from last season. That was particularly notable in these past three games.
I was sorry to see Brunskill leave. We saved a bit over $1M in cap room by letting him go to Tennessee where he is having a solid year - ranked #22 by PFF. Had the FO had a crystal ball, I'm sure they would have spent the money to keep DB here. Oh well...
