This Monday Night Football opening [Bears v. Vikes] two minutes from 1978 is better than anything on TV today.

Wilson will just be a camp body.

We need these 5th and 6th WRs to play special teams. Maybe Wilson is a special teams guy.


Doesn't seem to be. He has 4 career kick returns (long of 21) and no punt returns. He played 2 ST snaps last year and 4 the previous. He did play a bit more on ST early in his career, but he's 30 years old and under 200 lbs, so I doubt that's his role.

Veteran minimum contract with no guarantee makes him a long shot to make the team I'd guess.

Marion Barber was found dead in his apartment in Texas. Another piece of bad news.

Death is part of life. A part that really sucks. I thought you were referring to Marion Barber Jr., but no it's the only 38 year old Marion Barber III. RIP Marion.

MARION BARBER III
Former Cowboys Star
DEAD AT 38
BREAKING NEWS
6/1/2022 4:04 PM PT

Getty
Former Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber III was found dead in his apartment on Wednesday. He was just 38 years old.

Barber -- a Pro Bowler in 2007 -- was found by Frisco Police, according to the Dallas Star-Telegram. Further information has not been made available.

"We are heartbroken by the tragic death of Marion Barber III," the Dallas Cowboys said in a statement.

"Marion was an old-school, hard-nosed football player who ran with the will to win every down. He had a passion for the game and love for his coaches and teammates."

"Our hearts go out to Marion's family and friends during this difficult time."

The former University of Minnesota star had a solid pro career spanning seven seasons ... suiting up for, most notably, the Cowboys from 2005-2010. He also played one season with the Chicago Bears.

Barber was a 4th-round pick ... earning 4,780 rushing yards and 53 rushing touchdowns over 99 total games. His rough running style earned him the nickname, "Marion the Barbarian."


Barber III's dad, Marion Jr., and brother, Dominique, also played in the NFL ... and his youngest brother, Thomas, played at Minnesota as well.

Barber fell on hard times following his pro career -- most recently, he was arrested in 2019 after allegedly damaging multiple cars in 2018. He pleaded no contest to close out the case in late April.

Barber's passing comes one week before his 39th birthday -- June 10.

he looks like a career wr #3, and that's what we were looking for - a backup wr#3...he's got over 200 receptions...wouldn't surprise me if he makes the 53....

i still think that the biggest mistake that kwesi has made so far as our gm was not drafting jameson williams at #12....

surprised any team traded for him before the legal process played out.

Houston should have played him last year and if he refused, stop paying him.

It was something where they had to pay him and didn't want to play him....same as Vikes with AP.

The Vikes asked to have AP put on the Commisioners list after he played the first game if I remember correctly but the intention was the same.

1-yr deal for new #Vikings DL Jonathan Bullard. Big connection is with defensive line coach Chris Rumph. They were together with the Florida Gators. Rumph a big reason why Bullard is here. DC Ed Donatell was on Bears staff when Bullard was there, as well.

So is Bullard, like, a thing? 5 seasons, 3 1/2 career sacks, has done next to nothing the last 2 seasons. Doesn't seem like he is a thing.

That was me on Willikes bandwagon.

I think he is a 4-3 LDE. Probably not a fit for 3-4.

Also, I think they said there was an injury.

Finally, maybe he just had a couple good games(Ravens and Bears) against some horrible RTs and I overrated him.

I couldn't believe that the Browns actually traded valuable draft picks for him.
