About twice the veteran minimum. Need to have a dependable backup on the Oline.

Probably not since Barclay signed a multi year deal but still I'd rather have paid Tretter what he got than Barclay the 1.3 million. This is coming from a guy who thinks 1.3 million against the salary cap is chump change. Well, for chump change we got what we paid for.

In GB they would have wanted him to be our RG this season and them RG or C depending on what happens with Linsley and other player development. I can see Cleveland giving him more stability in position.

Another rotten personnel decision by Ted Thompson.
Barclay isn't even an NFL caliber backup offensive lineman.
Thompson is so busy pinching pennies he has forgotten that his job is to improve the Green Bay Packers.

Yesterday the OL back-ups were Patrick, Flores and Murphy [Assuming Spriggs starts at LG], adding Barclay RIGHT NOW improves the team for "pennies."

But, the move cant be evaluated until we learn how much in guaranteed. If 1.3M is guaranteed, I'm with Yooper [it is a 100% penny pinching BS move]. But, I suspect at most 200K is guaranteed. If so, its not a "move" but a 200K insurance policy against the failure of other acquisitions/draft and/or injury. Having Barclay in camp and among the youngsters is worth the 200K and most importantly it shows GB's propensity to give the UDFA the most of opportunities. Until Trump signs his Executive Order banning UDFAs, this is a huge competitive advantage for GB.

Also, OL is the one position where guys can continue to improve 5-6-7-8 years out.
