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

[Smidgeon]

Barnett may say some foolish stuff when he has too much time on his hands, but he's never caused dissension in the locker room or on the field. His contract may make it tough to keep him, but if Hawk or Bishop go down with an injury, it would be nice to have a guy like Barnett to turn to.

I agree with this. Plus, I think Barnett loves being on this team. He may be foolish in what he says sometimes, but he was drafted here and I think he knows how this organization ranks regarding how they treat their players.

It will be interesting to see how he'd take becoming a backup player who may be asked to take a pay cut if it comes to that. Hmm...

I didnt know that, what did you hear? Were teams contacting him? Interesting, glad hes back.

i posted that based on tweets by tom silverstein, jason laconfora, and adam schefter. they didn't mention anyone specifically. i just asked silverstein if he knew what teams were interested. hope he responds.

Yeah, I am having a hard time putting Barnett in the emotional instability category compared to other dopes in this league. Even his coach recognized he liable to pop off publicly, but a different person in the locker room. If Mr. Personality can handle Barnett and Finley, then I have no problem with both staying. But I suspect Barnett is going to want to start somewhere, so he might welcome a deal.

Silverstein said teams were contacting his agent. But nothing specific was mentioned. It would be foolish for teams with an LB need not to call and assess, since once he was cut, it was no longer tampering.

Are you saying wist matriculated at Texas with this post?

Then McCarthy will never have to turn to his wife and say "Jenny Jenny, who can I turn to?" when Hawk goes down.

Actually, can we get a ruling on that gesture? I think its the shocker.

he did answer my tweet with that same answer..."nothing specific."

Can't see him being traded...his contract is a little beefy for someone coming off injury and on the downside of his career. If Barnett were a true pro like Hawk, teams might be willing to take a chance on him...but the history of flinging various drink containers at various women and yapping incessantly on Twitter is going to turn off a lot of teams when they consider his current price tag.

Another Bishop lurks in the draft.

The defense actually was better without Barnett. With 3 big bodies occupying blocker the need for dominant ilb is reduced. Although a Ray Lewis type would be nice.

Honestly, probably a 6th round pick.

[BobDobbs]

After reading all the posts I don't think we'll be able to trade Barnett for anything. Why would anyone trade for him, when they can get him for less on the free agent market. Is anyone going to pay 6 million to a linebacker going on 30 who barely played last year if they also have to give a draft pick? I don't see him getting that on the Free Agent market, unless its through performance based escalator clauses.

Might as well have a competition in camp and cut the loser. None of those three guys is going to take being a backup no matter how much of a team player they are. They all know they can get paid starter money, maybe not 6 million. And honestly paying someone that much as a backup is crazy. Better to get rid of Barnett a year early than a year late.

Jenna Bush signing "7". Maybe she's a Michael Vick fan?

You don't "think" it's the shocker. It is the shocker. She's the lesbian one right?

No. That's the one on the right.
