Seattle Seahawks unrestricted free agent wide receiver Nate Burleson is expected to draw interest from multiple NFL teams, according to league sources.

National Football Post has learned that Burleson is on the radar of the following teams: the Kansas City Chiefs, Chicago Bears, Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He could also potentially re-sign with Seattle depending on what kind of offers he garners when the free agent signing period begins after midnight.

With the roster moves executed today with the Cincinnati Bengals and the Washington Redskins, they could also emerge as interested candidates for Burleson.

Burleson is a former Minnesota Vikings starter who signed a seven-year, $49 million contract with his hometown Seattle Seahawks on March, 24, 2006.

Burleson, 28, caught 63 passes for 812 yards and three touchdowns last season.

He missed the majority all but one game of the 2008 season with a knee injury.

For his career, he has caught 263 passes for 3,547 yards and 27 touchdowns.

I really hope Cincy would persue Brandon Marshall more so than another FA WR. We had L. Coles steal 10 million from us last year. Pay the piper. Pay the man, get Marshall.

You can bet that if he is 6'0 or under and probably belongs in the slot... The Bears will try to get him >_>

Seriously how many slot receivers can one team have??? We need guys OUTSIDE the numbers Jerry. OUTSIDE THE NUMBERS!!!

The Bears have more pressing needs than a number two receiver.
