Don Barclay. Raymond T. Rivard photograph' /> Don Barclay has had his ups and downs with the Green Bay Packers and his inconsistency has left him continuing to have to prove himself. Why is Don Barclay still a member of the Green Bay Packers? First off, he is under contract ... and with a very

Before the knee injury I liked Barclay a lot, he played out of position at OT and did better than I thought he would, especially the year he started at RT. I thought he would make a good long term starting OG. But he just hasn't quite been the same injury.

Sometimes it takes guys two or three years to bounce back from knee injuries but it's starting to look like this season or not gonna happen with the Packers. As the Packers drafted another guy that has played center in the past. I'm not sure if the rookie will be ready year one, but he could be the backup Center in year 2.

I've got no problem keeping Donnie on this roster for at least one more year until we know what we've got with a couple of the newer guys.

Barclay is a versatile, utility backup lineman. Guys like that always have a place on the roster. Better question is why hasn't anybody beat him out in training if he's so bad?

For what he is being paid there is no reason to get rid of him until somebody beats him out for the spot. With some of the youth on the oline I would be surprised if he makes the final cut this year.

Don't think Barclay is going anywhere.
Worked at C with the starters last week
Can play either G position.
I think he has been unfairly judged when he came back from injury and had to fill in a T
He wasn't fully recovered.

Don Barclay will never likely be voted to a pro-bowl team, but I must admire his will to succeed . He made his way onto GB's roster as an undrafted free agent in 2012. He must have impressed the coaches to make his 1st GB roster. In his 3rd season, he started 14 games.

Yes, he did injure his knee, but has battled back from it. If he makes the 2017 roster, he will enter his 6th season and be under age 30 too.

I don't see Barclay as a starter, but he has demonstrated that he has the versatility to fill in at the G or T positions without worrying the coaches weather he knows the system. If another player can push him to the bench in training camp , then GB reaps the benefit.

I trust Coach McCarthy and his Staff to pick the best players from those that they are supplied with.

I believe that version of Barclay could of been a darn good starting OG... not to the level of Sitton and Lang, but still a good starter. But he just hasn't quite seem the same since that injury he had.

Teams normally active 7 OL for game day (sometimes 😎, and I believe as of right now (before training camp shakes things up) Barclay is the top back-up in the middle... this is assuming Evans is the starter at RG at the moment before the camp battle.

Dude built a career on that fake FG that Jeff Thomason ran in from 35 yards for a TD that year against the Bares. Got it done at LT for a short period of time, but hasn't been the same since busting up his knee.

If the dude can back up Linsley at C, he makes the team.

Barclay strength was that once he squared up and got his hands on you, you were done, because you weren't going through him. You might be able to go around him, but once he squarely got his hands on you, it was also hard to disengage. Also he got it done at RT, not LT.

MM has said he saw Tretter and Barclay as starters even though that they weren't starting. MM has seemed to believe that they could be good starters. Which is more interesting with reports that he was rotating in with the #1 OL unit.
