For what it's worth,here is some more infro about Rarton,our latest offensive lineman.Not exactly a stellar resume.

The 6-foot-6, 300-pound Barton was a seventh-round draft pick by the Chicago Bears in 2008 but played in only one game before being released. He had stints with San Francisco, Miami and Cincinnati since, but has not played in any other games.

He did not see any action in 2009.

He was a first-team All-American for Ohio State in 2007.

Sounds like he doesn't want to play for us:

Kirk Barton, whom the Panthers claimed off waivers on Wednesday, has decided he no longer wants to play football.

T Kirk Barton, claimed off waivers Wednesday, not here today. Fox says he thinks Barton retired. Either way, they're short.

The guy was unlikely to make the roster.

Probably realized he would never make a squad. Why would you want to bust your ass year after year in training camp.....only to be cut once again.

Time to move on.

Why didn't Carolina cut Edwards to make room?

[Carolina Husker]

Shit, I just ordered his jersey.

I feel your pain -- I had a custom Capizzi jersey made.

[Anybodyhome]

It may not have been such a good idea to whack Capizzi...

The surname "Capizzi" was a name for a person who was at the head and is the source name for the word "Capo."

Offensive lineman Kirk Barton has decided not to report to the Carolina Panthers, a day after he was claimed off waivers.

Well, I guess I can dust off the ol' college pads for another run. I'm only 6'2" and 260lbs. nowdays, but I can still kick slide and pass protect like a beast.
