Good but never great and certainly not $6M. Montana boy, huh? Thanks for all the water. 😉 You have no idea of the shit storm around Bismarck this summer.

What? Now it's clear to all teams that Barnett is being released no matter what. If a team wants him, they'll trade for him to ensure that they get him. I don't think it hurts a possible trade at all.

How can they possibly trade the dumbass when he is announcing his departure on Twitter?

But it does reinforce the notion that it may be possible to pick him up without giving up a draft pick. Or at the very least, get him for a 6 or 7.

Some rumors about Ryan Grant being let go.. haven't seen that confirmed but interesting fodder anyway.



That would really clear some cap room.

I think this was more about allowing Barnett to know his fate and not letting it linger. If a team needs a backer, and like Nick, they can make it a sure thing via a trade for a lower draft pick in place of taking a chance on the open market.



Is anyone really surprised that he is available.. it wasn't that hard to interpret when they inked Hawk and Bishop to sizable deals.



Barnett announcing it affects the situation little IMO. And I am not a Barnett fan.

If it wasn't for Nick Barnett's samurai sword, James Starks never would have cut through defenses in the post season. F-A-C-T-!-!-!

I do think Nick Barnett will garner some attention for at least two or three teams, which should help the Packers get something in trade. UNLESS his agent has a wink wink nod agreement with a team that he'll sign with them once released. If that happens, Packers are S.O.L.
