After making his first NFL Pro Bowl, Marion Barber is now seeking an elite contract. The Dallas Cowboys have held preliminary talks with Barber’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and are offering a financial package in the $30 million range, according to a report in Thursday’s Dallas Morning News. Barber, however, is reportedly seeking a package between $40 million and $60 million, more in line with contracts signed by the Kansas City Chiefs’ Larry Johnson and LaDainian Tomlinson of the San Diego Chargers, who received $43.2 million and $60 million respectively. With that being stated. Facts are Facts. Barber was only the backup last season. Barber didn't even get a 1,000 yards even getting the most caries. Yes his bruising style and rushing touchdown totals are impressive. If I'm the Cowboys, i want Marion in the backfeild and he's the guy i want there for years to come. However, asking for LT money, without giving me LT production, is asking for too much. Texas fans rejoice. I am not the Dallas Cowboys. I have been for the team making Barber the starter, and also have lobbied for him to become the future fulltiem starter, but his numbers are a bit to pricey for me. The guy in 0-1 as starter. Thats not convincing. He lacks NFL speed. Thats not convincing. so the price needs to go down. Period.Rosenhaus and the Cowboys have a good working relationship and it is likely the two sides will reach an agreement. Barber, a restricted free agent who scored 12 total touchdowns and rushed for a career-high 975 yards - despite not starting a single game during the 2007 regular season - was tendered a $2.5 million contract by the Cowboys in February.
I would have never thought that Barber would be delivering one of these to Jerry Jones or the entire Cowboys organization.
But when you are represented by this guy. Anything is Possible.
