Brian Burns landing spots: 5 teams that should pursue 2x Pro Bowl LB as Panthers reportedly end contract talks

2) Houston Texans

DeMeco Ryans was once a top linebaker for the Texans, and he could reform Brian Burns in that image

The Houston Texans have a proud history of top pass-rushers - Mario Williams, JJ Watt, Brian Cushing, Jadeveon Clowney, and more recently Will Anderson Jr. come to mind.

Even their current head coach DeMeco Ryans was once a top pass-rusher during his playing days. He can see his old self in Burns, and that motivation might be what the soon-to-be sixth-year player needs to truly find his form.
