Stinger226 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Barnett was quite good the last two years. was going to make 3.5 at 31. Resign Roach(not terrible) and give Barnett a couple mil for a couple of years and stick him at SLB. Then draft a guy in the 4th or 5th round and grove him for Roaches job next year.

Just looked up his bio, he played MLB when with the Packers at 6-2 240 lbs. maybe he can still play the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 The Bears need youth on defense. They can't keep signing older FA's to be stop-gaps for future draft picks when in fact they never get those future draft picks. Draft LB's, don't sign guys that the Bills can't use.

bowlingtwig Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I was thinking this earlier. I would be cool with if $$ was right and no more than 2 yrs and also provided we have intentions of drafting LB as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Apparently he is now listed as a "failed physical" on the wire. Yeah, sign me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with need youth on defense but the problem is we have a 1st and 2nd to draft 2 to 3 new OL, a TE, a speedy WR and maybe 2 new LBs .Odds of our 4th and 5th,6th picks starting the first year are pretty slim. So whether in FAgency and the first part of the draft we could use 6 starters and all wont be young guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I looked up every sports wire and cant find that information. Why would he be taking a physical in the off season with no football being played. They give you physicals when you go to OTA or camp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet The #Bills release of Nick Barnett is officially listed as a failed physical on the league's transaction wire. https://twitter.com/RapSheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 https://twitter.com/RapSheet I guess that is the only place where that info shows up , it must be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingtwig Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I guess that is the only place where that info shows up , it must be true. Yeah that doesn't seem accurate. As players take exit physicals which must be done within 3 days of teams last game but then are on there own til camp opens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonej Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'd rather keep Urlacher for another year than sign Barnett who also is up in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 What I read about Barnett is that he has been horrible in pass coverage the last two seasons. There's a reason a really bad defense just let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm normally in favor of the talented player with issues, but F this guy. He has always been an on-field trouble maker, and a punk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yeah, we're lying. You caught us. I didnt see it reported anywhere else other than one twitter report, I guess because I dont do twitter I didnt understand that everything reported on twitter was true. All I was doing was throwing out there a name that might be gotten at a reasonably price that could help us. Obviously I pissed you off by saying something negative about a comment . I actually did think you were the sharpest guy on here, not I understand your just like the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
