My eyes had trouble identifying the digits, beside that it wasn't hook 'em horns. But now the tougher question: why?Originally posted by SkinBasket View PostYou don't "think" it's the shocker. It is the shocker. She's the lesbian one right?
And does Dad have any idea what's going on?Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Barnett aint worth shit in a trade, and unless he moves to outside linebacker his 6 million in 2011 ain't worth shit to the Packers.
think about it? Why would Thompson keep a back up middle linebacker at 6 mil per? Not his style, besides Thompson and McCarthy probably are not all that happy with him for his twitter habbits the week before the Super Bowl. Thompson isn't one to appreciate the airing of dirty laundry to the public.
If I were the Packers, I would simply ask him to move to outside linebacker, work their all through camp and if it works out great, if not you cut him on the final cutdown. Then let him twitter his nutsack off. He will be so messed up that he won't even remember how to play middle linebacker in a traditional 4-3 anymore. At best he will be a nickel backer for the rest of his career.
I do think that Barnett could be a solid pass rusher from the outside, unfortunately it would be his lack of substance in the run game that could make his transition to outside linebacker difficult. He won't give up his body for the good of the scheme and that is a huge problem in Dom Capers defense.
Thompson only has to bring in 1 draft pick and about 3 other street free agents to compete for back up jobs at MLB.

I think they'll cut him before they move him to OLB. He's too small for that job and wouldn't hold up, whether or not he'd be willing, which I doubt.
I wouldn't put it past Thompson to get a 6th for him and then turn that into a solid contributor, but I'd be shocked if they paid him $6 mil to sit on the bench and be a cancerous malcontent with a quick twitterfinger regardless of whether they can get anything in a trade.

I don't think he's going to OLB unless its a different system. Not big enough in a 3-4.
And I don't think Thompson will cut bait unless he gets an offer worth dumping him for. The Twitter thing was a lot of noise, but its not like it tore the locker room apart either. As for being in camp, its not like Bishop, Hawk or Francois need a metric ton of reps.
He waits for an offer and either releases him around the second preseason game (if he is feeling generous, to let him find a new team and practice with it) or right before the 4th game, a slightly less generous move. I think its the latter and he waits to see if an injury somewhere else peaks interest.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

I didn't necessarily like Barnett, but I was always feeling sorry for him.Originally posted by PaCkFan_n_MD View PostBarnett is not a 34 OLB and he will not be a backup at 6 mil. He will be traded for a low pick or cut. I liked Barnett though, I wish him success on another team.
I was sorry they gave him a ticket for jaywalking...really officer?
I was sorry they shut down his club...lock the door, Herb! There's black people crossing the street again!
I was sorry he made up the Samurai move...too unclear, too long, too ghey.
I was sorry drunk white chicks got him into trouble...too me too.
I was sorry he kept opening his mouth and getting misunderheard...too much twittering.
I will be a little sorry he's gone. He seemed to like us even if we didn't like him.Last edited by swede; 03-06-2011, 07:55 PM.[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.

Well at least if he gets moved outside, he'll have less ground to cover when he makes the wrong read to his side. He might actually hit someone from the side instead of his typical drag down.Originally posted by 3irty1This is museum quality stupidity.

If we get a CBA in place before the end of April, I expect him to be traded on draft day... and a lot of those trades guys go for peanuts, but the fact that the draft is almost completely bare of decent ILB prospects, he might be worth more than we expect. Wouldn't expect anything more than a day 3 pick though.</delurk>
