Derek Barnett waived

[K-town Vol Fan]

Looks like he'll have a new home soon

 

[McDad]

Anyone know what happened to him in Philly? Injuries? Buried on depth chart? Lazy?

 

[UT/USM_081302]

Just another reason to dislike Philly. Far too many former GA and Bama players on their roster.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Wasn’t he doing really with them early on??

Had a great rookie season

Tore his ACL first game of last season. Had fallen way down on the depth chart this year.

Hope he gets an opportunity to extend his career.

Minnesota just lost Dean Lowry for the rest of the year, would love to see him land there!

 

[DeadByDaylightFan]

Eagles d-line is absolutely stacked. This isn't really a surprise....

 

[BearCat204]

WIsh the best for him. Will never forget the strip sack in the SB and he has been nothing but a leader and great teammate from everything that has been out there said about him. He will do well wherever he goes.

I see it more of a signal that Leonard is coming to Philly.

He fought injuries his entire time in Philly, and never had a chance to develop any consistency. Coming out of UT I saw him as a late 1st/early 2nd rotational DL, but when the Eagles picked him 15th he was expected to be a 10 sack a season anchor at DE. He was never going to be that kind of pro, but in a more situational role he could have shined.

But he'll always be remembered in Philly for recovering the Brady fumble that helped sew up the 2017 Super Bowl.

Wish we had about six just like him on our roster right now

He’s been great while on the field. But hasn’t he had some injury issues last couple years?

 

[rickyyrs]

Wasn't he from Nashville? Maybe he can go play for the Titans. They need a lot of help

 

[adam.vol]

I would not mind Barnett continuing down The Minister’s path and head to the Packers next. That would be a neat story.

 

[number1volfanfrom76]

re-uniting with Dobbs?

I already had enough reasons, but I guess another one doesn’t hurt.

For his sake I hope not. They need a whole new organization! They’re happy continually striving for mediocrity. Feel sorry for some of the players on the team, as the admin and coaches are determined to put a product out that will not win championships.

re-uniting with Dobbs?

I hope so! I think Kevin O’Connell would put him in a position to be successful.

He’ll be fine. Plenty of teams will bid for his services!

 

[Volfan1000]

He would be a good pickup for my Atlanta Falcons and provide depth on the defensive line.

Titans have a miserable history with players from Tennessee. Anyplace else, Derek.

Lack of high-end physical talent. I said it when he was coming out. He's a good player because of his hustle and desire not because of his physical tools. These physical limitations caught up with him in the NFL.
