mushypeaches Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Barkley released by Carolina in a series of moves they made today. I think this is a perfect opportunity to add to our practice squad as a Covid contingency at the very least. There's really no downside and I'd rather have him go in vs Davis Webb if it ever comes down to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the room on the PS since Fromm has gone on to be the star starting QB for the Giants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninSB Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I don’t get why they are so dead set on getting Darnold killed. I would play Barkley and get Darold healthy for next season or wrap him in bubble wrap for a possible trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolina has to decide whether it's worth that $ in dead cap space not to have him around or get some more lousy QB play for their $18+ million. They're dead set on finding out if he's salvagable enough to be an $18 million backup or just bite the bullet & cut him. If it's the latter, they don't care about his future, which might be a low paid backup or a real job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris heff Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I remember when both of these guys were being discussed here as possible first overall picks in the draft. Barkley stayed at USC a year to long and fell to the fourth round, while Darnold went third overall, four picks ahead of some guy from Wyoming.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 There was a story think it may have been in the Athletic I read a couple weeks back that suggested this. Stated Darnold would likely be activated soon and once he was, a QB would be released likely Barkley and the Bills may want to sign in to PS and keep him away from everyone else like they did last year with Fromm in case of Covid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgoteam Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 If they had four on the roster (53 & PS) then I say do it. Just this time Webb and Barkley are both on the PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they draft a QB I would think they would want Darnold around as a bridge. Besides, a trade is always possible if the terms are reasonable. Beane got something for TT.

Nitro Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 He is a good back up. Carolina wasted his time. They played dead armed Cam. Atlanta is going to be a cup of coffee stop. I hope he lands a better gig in the off season. Backing up a young QB who needs a veteran to show him the ropes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to let him get all the reps for the next two games before deciding whether he will be a transition QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
