He has 39 career tackles, one interception and two pass breakups.

Burton, 28, played last season with Washington. He saw action on 68 offensive plays and 177 on special teams.

The Lions drafted Burton in the fifth round in 2015. He spent two seasons there and two in Chicago.

In his five-year career, Burton has 17 touches for 64 yards and a score.
