Dallas Cowboys, Marion Barber Talk Deal

He was only 25 yards short f 1000 i dont know why everyone stresses tht hes not a 1000 yd rusher the man split carries he coulf of got tht 25 yards with 4-6 carries prolly less than tht

I think were making too much out of this. Barber will sign a deal with Dallas one way or another.

yea and theres a difference between 'pro bowl money' and 'LT money' ............. i love barber, we just didnt think it was right to dump him and 2 ffirst rounders to trade up for dmac who is unproven, it doesnt mean he doesnt have flaws himself, i think hes capable of being the main man and carrying the load, but he hasnt yet actuall done that for a season, so he shouldnt be signed to an LT contract until he does so for a whole year as the main man.. i mean he deserves more than michael turner but less than LT

I'm shocked. *SHOCKED* I say! Where are all the fans who said how Barber more than deserved to be in the pro-bowl? Back then if anyone had dared mention his lack of a 1000 yard season, that person was shouted down and called names like "Tulip."  Now that it's pay day, you guys suddenly remember all his flaws. Well, you guys can't have it both ways.  If he deserves to be in the pro-bowl, let the man make pro-bowl money.  To do anything else is a slap in the face.

the cowboys basically have already said that they won't give him LT money. they are saying they are interested in a back in the draft. what does that say to barber? they want him to split carries again??? so he's bargaining for the most he can get. he won't leave, and he'll eventually sign for under the 35mill range.... unless he carries the load himself this year and gets 20 tds and 1500 yds. then get ready for LT money

Drew Rosenhaus refuses to return my emails!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't want him to go either. I hope he signs for a reasonable amount. It could still be beneficial to aim for Mendenhall or Stewart

I agree that he isnt worth the money YET.  He is a good back, he brings life to this team however he is not LT.  I dont agree with letting him go though.  He doesnt want to go anywhere, he will sign what the cowboys give him which I am guessing will be in the $34 million range.  I dont blame him for trying though. 

Barber isnt  worth that money...yet!! We cant let tht guy go, hes the blood and guts of this team he means to much to the fans. I dont think hell get tht money hell settle for less. The Cowboys are one of the three dominant teams in the NFL, I think hel take a pay cut to be the featured back for Americas Dominant team. And i dont know about you but id take Barber over any of these unproven backs in the draft any day any time.

I love Marion Barber. His power, grit, and determination to gain yardage have set him apart from the average NFL running back. However, he is not LT. He is not LJ. Perhaps this is just a lofty initial asking price, and he may be actually shooting for lower money. But if he is dead set on getting that much money from the 'Boys, I say let him go. He is not in the upper eschalon of NFL backs, at least not yet. I say, Jerry should go after Mendenhall, or definitely draft Stewart if he is on the board at 22. I'm afraid he won't be. We have too many contracts to give over the next couple years to pay a non-LT back LT money.
