Is Barlow even worth rostereing at this point? Could he end up somewhere and get decent playing time???

 

[Irish]

Not on my roster. Switz was right.

???

I have heard zero free agency talk regarding Barlow. I think if he does end up somewhere it might be very late and maybe after someone gets hit with an injury.

Right now he's on the chopping block for me.

I wouldn't be 100% done with Barlow - there's still interest, according to the Terre Haute (IN) News:

• Colts looking at Barlow? — Running back Kevan Barlow, who played with the New York Jets last season, has reportedly drawn some interest from several NFL teams, including Indianapolis. Buffalo and Tennessee may be in the mix as well.

Barlow began his career with the San Francisco 49ers.

If your offseaso rosters expand, why not pick him up/trade for him and just see what happens? Guys in his situation often get the call when a starter goes down with an ACL injury in camp and there's no other options available. In that case, he'd have some value, either as an emergency fill-in or trade bait. If he signs nowhere or signs with a team and is buried on the depth chart, you simply cut him at roster cutdown time. His current owner probably has no use for him so why not get him as a throw-in in a trade, assuming you don't have to cut somebody else to keep him?

But NOBODY "trades (or cuts) a guy like Kevan Barlow."

Honestly, speaking as a Bears fan, I wouldn't mind seeing him in CHI to provide a little extra depth at the position.

I remember hearing about Shanahan calling the 49ers after the 2001 draft to congratulate them on snagging the best RB in the draft. I'm going to hold onto him just a bit longer...

Although I think Shanny has an extremely good eye for spotting talent and has drafted some great guys, there are just sometimes you mess up and are wrong about guys like was the case with Shanny drafting Clarett and quite possibly for making those comments about Barlow.At this point Barlow is not worth very much.

Barlow was such a monster when he first got his opportunity at the end of the 2003 season (when G.Hearst went down with an injury). What happened?

shanahan drafted clarett in the 3rd round.....you going to pick him up?

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

I'd take him in Pgh as our 3rd back, if he were priced around the vet min.

 

[prymetyme25]

looks like he might be headed to Indy.
