Marion Barber's Resignation Will Affect The Strength of The Negotiations ... But For Whose Benefit?: The day after the Bears signed a four-year contract, Michael Bush and Matt Forte went on to rant later that Twitter may not have had anything to do with the signing of Bush (depending on if you think his tweet tracking), Marion Barber, the last back-Forte Copy of the season, announced his retirement from the NFL. Despite the presence of Barber in the list would have been competition for the backup position itself in the list would be on the surface of the negotiating strengths in his favor. Without a barber in the list, if all were, as now, the bears will go to camp with the leading trio of Bush, Kahlil Bell and Armando Allen, management did not want something to bear.
But there is another factor to consider here - Barber retired after only his seventh season in the NFL.
Now I know that Barber and Forte is not the same player - short back, who has never been a thousand-yard season or broken door 250 or 300 keys, combined in a single season. And the other has just finished his fourth year of disabled list, two thousand yards in a season (74 yards, and the combination of the four) and 1237 combined key.
But Barber's resignation should send a strong signal if he wants long-term agreement, Barber only in the league three years longer (until, of course, he signed out of retirement), and serves to enhance the short shelf life of running backs in the NFL.
Let us consider another factor. Barber began to pick up most of the doors in 2007, when he went to the Pro Bowl with 975 yards and 10 touchdown, a year after a 14-TD campaign. It was his third season - he was a starter until 2010, and fell quite sharply, resulting in only 3.51 meters in hand in the last two seasons. With the clearly better performance than this, but it took a lot of grinding and a lot of hits in his career - almost as much as a hairdresser in his career. And it's not as physical a runner as Barber. How many more visits it will take?
Barber did not have to be the most offense, Forte has been so throughout his career, either. Are there any additional finishing touches strongly influenced the duration of his future career?
So my question to you: Who is in favor of a retired Barber - Strong and his influence to bear "items in the list, or a bear, and the term of the contract and the amount they have to offer?
