Glad I could help

Nick Barnett has signed with the Bills.

[Badgerinmaine]

Three year deal with Buffalo: http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/a...ls-1675575.php
Adam Schefter of ESPN says it's $12 million for 3 years with half of it guaranteed. I wish him well in western New York.

He did a lot better than I thought he would.

Repost where this belongs:

Barnett in Buffalo. Where the DC is Dave Wannestache, he of the Miami Dolphins/Dallas Cowboys/Jim Bates 4-3. Where all the action is funneled to the MLB with the DTs keeping him clean of pesky guards and centers.

If he gets to start in the middle, should be a good match. He did his best work in this defense.

Sweet Jesus. Half of it guaranteed!

I don't think anybody here knows what Barnett's role was in the locker room. He was a bit wild off the field, had some 'tude that alienated the conservative, upper midwest white folk. Most of the players appreciated his sticking his neck out on the team picture issue. Maybe Barnett was an ass among the players, maybe not. All we know for sure is that he played with a lot of fire on the field.

The team needs another inside linebacker.

Buffalo? I thought he would catch on with an NFL team.

He played with a lot of fire OFF the field. On the field not so much.

he landed in a good situation, other than all the white folks in Buffalo.

IMO NB would never accept a backup role. Reminds of an aging diva.

If there is a weakness -- unproven backup ilbs.

Glad he got his money -- somewhere else. Also very glad he didn't end up in division rival Detroit. That team could be really tough, and I didn't like the thought of seeing an uber-motivated Barnett twice a year.

The Lions are still a little weak at LB, and I'd like them to stay that way. As it is, Detroit has potentially the toughest DL the Pack will face.

Nick Barnett was is an average linebacker with some speed, a low % of feel for the game. He is actually a better athlete then he is a football player. His instincts for the football never kicked in. Compare him to Desmond Bishop. Bishop is a heck of a football player once he learned and the coaches learned to trust his instincts on the field. AJ Hawk is a bit more like Barnett. Hawk has good instincts but when he fails it is because he doesn't trust those instincts and sticks exactly to the script.
