Even with his injury, Burleson has put up as much yardage (1334) and TD's (10) as Lloyd has (1298yd, 11TD) in the past two seasons.

I can't see us getting him cheaper than Lloyd.

The 49er's made a much better tender offer to Lloyd (about $1.55 million) than the Vikings gave to Burleson (about $712,000). This doesn't necessarily equate to salary if either player signs with another team, but it gives you an idea of how that player is valued by the team and where you'd have to start in order to make a run at them. Burleson also had such a bad year last year that I think he fell off the radar for some teams.
