Congratulations to him for getting paid and for proving me and many others wrong about his every-down dependability.

Goodbye Hawk.

Goodbye Hawk.

Given the way the played together, I think Hawk stays and Barnett goes.

I also think there's a good chance that Bishop, Hawk, and Chillar stay with Barnett going. However, it depends on what Hawk and his agent think he's worth. They hold the cards. If they are looking at a reasonable number, I think the Pack gets rid of Barnett. If they demand too much, I think they let Hawk go and keep Barnett. Kind of the same with Cullen Jenkins. It all depends on what the are asking for.

I hope they find a way to keep Hawk. I think he's steadier than Barnett, and the defense has played better since he became the defensive signal caller.

Another Cal Bear to solidify the Pack's bright future. The only good bear is a Cal Bear (except DeSean Jackson this Sunday, of course!).

Isn't Hawk due a $10 Milliion bonus and Barnett only $6 Million......if I was a betting man, I'd go with Hawk being gone.

[Spaulding]

I'd tend to think that Barnett and Bishop in the middle has led to better results than Barnett and Hawk. Hawk as a defensive play caller seems to in at least some way (however small) helped gel the defense as well. As much bad press as Hawk gets, Barnett often seems to make his tackles down field and being dragged. If salary is anywhere close I'd hope they keep Hawk over Barnett. Youth, injury history, etc. almost dictates that.

Depends on what Hawk is willing to restructure his salary for.

[Willard]

How about $19M for 4 years? Will he demand more than Bishop?

Agree. Hawk has shown is value this season as the better signal caller and has a better feel for the defense. Barnett keeps getting hurt and missing games. Hawk doesn't. It will come down to what Hawk does with his contract.

You have something against Baylor?

No doubt! Bye, bye Barnett. Hawk is a leader; I'm happy he's back to '06 & '07 form.
