Isn't he unemployed tho?

Seems like a weak reason to stay unemployed.

Hasn't he already had offers from other teams? If he turns them down, that's on him. Besides that, what's he going to do here when Olsen comes back? He's not going to take Dickson's place because he's a completely different kind of player than Barnidge and he sure as hell ain't taking Olsen's reps. Do you expect Shula to change his playbook to accommodate Barnidge from that point forward?

 

Honestly, if we can't make up for Olsen's 5-6 plays a game with KB, Funchess, Shepard, Samuel, Byrd, CMC, Dickson, and maybe Armah, if and when he's ready, then we have a much bigger problem that whether Barnidge wants to come here or not.

Seems like the perfect time to sign Gary Barnidge, he knows the playbook and would be the #1 TE just like he wanted. It would be a win-win situation although I'm wondering why the Texans didn't sign him this weekend.

Why would you think he knows the playbook?

He makes Dickson obsolete actually.  He's a better pass catcher and probably the best blocking TE in the league.    You guys saying, what happens when Olsen is back, need to rephrase what IF Olsen comes back.

Because it's literally scribbled in crayon and macaronni art?

Because Shula couldn't disguise a formation with a how-to guide?

Because the playbook just has a picture of Cam and CMC taped to a picture of Don Shula?

Because Garry read the playbook once years ago and it hasn't changed?

He will not take Dickson's place, no matter how much some of you want him to.

He could do very well here.  The question is, what happens when Olsen comes back?  That is probably the biggest obstacle from him coming here.  

I believe all players signed at this point in the season come on non-guaranteed contracts. That would mean we could cut him once Olsen comes back with no further damage. Seems like a win-win.

Coming from the couch to gameday at this point in the season seems like a good deal. At this point you'd have to take anything you can get, right?

He could have already taken a deal like that though and he didn't. He wants to start and he sure as hell doesn't want to start for a while and then get cut right before the play offs. Would you?

That right there sounds like someone who doesn't want to play this year.

Was he cut from the browns? If so he could have a guaranteed contract and is getting paid right now to not play. He's in his 30's and unless something makes him go "Wow" he might not play this year, or really again if he wants.
