So....what's Barnett worth????

[Patler]

Barnett would seem to be the odd-man-out with both Bishop and Hawk (apparently) being re-signed to starters money.

What's Barnett worth?
Should they even bring him to camp, or will he be a distraction?
With no CBA in place, a draft day trade can't happen. Too bad.

[BobDobbs]

I thought they might be getting rid of Hawk, so it shows what I know. However, I think this is the biggest player decision of the offseason, so I figured I 'd weigh in.

Man, its hard to see us getting much for him. No one has seen him play for a year and they know we want to move him and will probably cut him rather than carry his contract on our books. He's got enough years that there's no waiver process(unless that changes). If I was an opposing GM I might offer a 5th if I really liked Barnett.

If there is a preseason it may only be two games. It might be worth carrying all three through camp in case of injury. Or maybe you just take offers on all three and see if someone offers a one for Bishop or something.

The variables are various.

Barnett's not a bad guy or anything, but he does seem to wear his heart on his sleeve and on Twitter. Thus I can imagine him being a distraction. Not sure he'd be worth bringing in as insurance if he were to be grousing about things.

In my fantasy world, Barnett could snag a fourth, but in the real world, BobDobbs is probably closer to the truth - a fifth. Of Scotch.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

I think a contender would give no more than a 5th given his injury history and age. Plus whatever team would want him knows we can't pay four Ilbs that kind of money. I doubt we get much of anything for Barnett, but thats okay b/c I'm happy with Hawk and Bishop. Cut Barnett early so he can get his bitching out of the way now.

[swede]

How much bitching can he do if no one picks him up and pays him real money?

[bobblehead]

As I said in the Hawk thread, I think he stays put unless we need cap space under the new agreement. Too much talent?? Please, who has that problem. He will stay and play unless we are forced to waive contracts. There are plenty of snaps to go around.

How about a conditional pick next year based on production (between 3rd and 5th round)

[hoosier]

I can't see anyone giving anything for an often-injured 29-year-old ML, especially when it's obvious that GB will cut him (no way do they bring his disgruntled butt to camp) if they can't trade him. Maybe TT could trade him to the AFC for "past considerations" so that a division rival doesn't sign him.

[prime311]

My money is on him getting cut. Probably sooner rather then later.

[3irty1]

I'm thinking he'll be cut.

I'd heard that his butt is gruntled. It's the other parts of him that are dis.

The better question is how much is his night club worth? He'll probably sell it if he gets shipped out of town.

Didn't he already sell it after his legal troubles?

[gbpackfan]

I think he is trying to sell it, but no one will buy it. Maybe someone has. As for Barnett, I've grown tired of his big mouth and twitter antics. I could care less if we traded him for a gross of spoiled yamms.

[wist43]

He actually turned into a servicable vet... but his years of mindnumbing misreads, and some of the other personal baggage is enough for me... let him go.
