Three years, 12 million?

I guess that’s one way to reach the floor.

Barnett would have only recieved a one-year deal with Detroit

I’m a Lions fan and I see where Nick Barnett signed with the Bills. Congratulations and best of luck to both him and the Bills. Stay healthy and play well.

…. if he can run stuff near the l.o.s and remotely cover a tight end then he is an upgrade over pozluzny, age not with standing.
*********************************************

Nick’s a decent player.

He’s pretty quick side to side but he has a very hard time taking a blocker on, overpowering and shedding him and getting to the ball carrier.

He’s not going to get you sacks by blowing up the line or even a RB to get to the passer either. He gets tackles but VERY few of them are for a loss. Most are 3 to 6 yards on the defensive side of the line of scrimmage. He can cover a TE – depending on the TE. Watching him in practice – Finely would light him up but Finely is a beast.

He’s also getting older and has been struggling with injuries.

If you’re weak at LB, he’s worth looking at but he’s not worth paying a lot of money for. Simply put – he’s not a game changer for a team with talent.

You Buffalo fans will love Barnett, he’ll play smashmouth football, make big hits, tackle a guy, and then jump up and do his Samurai dance. You’ll Love It, then you’ll realize this all happened after Barnett gave up 8 yds, on 1st and 10, it’s the 4th quarter, and you’re trailing by 21 points! But hey, that’s Barnett, he celebrates everything! Probably does his samurai thing after hitting his wife. But, if you love twitter, you’ll love Barnett.

Just read he signed with Buffalo.

The AFC east is flat out getting after it this year in FA.

Added in a ton of talent to a division that sent two teams to the playoffs already.

Note to Buffalo: Don’t let him open a bar.

Seeing as the Lions only used him for signing leverage with Tulloch, a wise move on his part.

Shame that he will be stuck in Siberia(aka Buffalo) though.

I’ve always liked Nick. Good, hard-nosed, and INTENSE football player that’s not a lot of flash……just has a nose for the ball.

I hope he signs with the Bills.

Welcome to Buffalo Nick. I can’t wait to see this guy blasting blasting running backs in the backfield behind Williams and Dareus

It’s ok Nick the Lions signed Tulloch today and will no longer be needing your services.

Well, the weather will be the same. That’s about where the similarities end.

Hello Giants – I heard your in dire need of LBers… Oh wait, your not participating in FA this year. My bad.

i don`t get to see the pack much cept when there on national tv (actually i do get to see them much) so i am not really familiar with nick b`s style of play. if he can run stuff near the l.o.s and remotely cover a tight end then he is an upgrade over pozluzny, age not with standing.

Good Luck Nick. Glad you are not going to the Kittens!

the only reason to sign with buffalo is that it provides you with 6 live tryouts with the pats jets and dolphins

Nick just signed with the Bills, you’ll hear about it soon.

You want tackles…Nick Barnett could get them at least in his past. Want turnovers…..well that’s a different story.

In 107 games he’s had 2 forced fumbles and 9 INTs.

In 56 games (and only 13 starts) Bishop has 6 forced fumbles with only 1 INT but that came last year (I think against Favre in a pick-6).

Bishop is also 3 years younger and less wear and tear on his body.

Nick Barnett still may have some good games in his future. He always played like the game was 0-0 but it was time for the Packers to move on and get younger (and healthier). Hope he can get on a good team and he has a good rest of his career.

Jealous? That’s funny right there. I don’t think that Buffalo and jealous have ever been used in a sentence before.

He may already be in his next home.

I didn’t know he was in Philly right now.

Definitely worth the risk. Merriman, Barnett, Moats, and Sheppard with Dareus and Williams in the middle. Nice! if Troupe and Carrington come on in their second year as well. D will be drastically improved.
