  1. Weird that they do this after he was out with personal issues the past few days. Wonder what happened.

  2. He was highly regarded coming out of college and was just serviceable for us. Does anyone know the cap implications for us? Would also be cool if this meant we can sign someone like Leonard.

  3. Thanks for the huge play in the SB to help secure a ring!

    It’s always writing on the wall when we’re deep on the D-line and you’re persistently invisible throughout the game aside from dumb penalties.

    Welcome to Philly, Shaq Darius “‘No Really, I’m Formerly Darius but Now I’m Shaquille'” Leonard?

  4. Gonna be hilarious when Dallas picks him up and he gets flagged for roughing the passer late in the 4th to put the Eagles in range for a game winning field goal.

  5. To those saying we shouldve kept him for pass rush depth… hes been an absolute zero as a pass rusher this year. Were better off just giving anyone else his snaps.

  6. If he doesn’t recover that fumble clean, maybe Brady gets another chance down 5, with an extra minute.

    I know he’s a bust overall, but he completed the biggest turnover in franchise history.

    All the best.

  7. Man, I remember the Reggie White comps coming out of college. Such a damn shame he never really took that next step. Thanks for the SB recovery…

  8. I’m a big LSU fan and an avid SEC watcher, I never saw big potential in Barnett and kind of knew he wouldn’t pan out. I sort of feel bad but then I remember how toxic he was most of the time, he pissed coach Nick off bigtime.

    Will always remember the fumble recovery I got to watch with my late grandfather. It was one of the last times he was able to watch ball with a clear mind. He wasn’t big into the NFL, but that season he fell in love with the Eagles and Nick Foles in particular. I even caught him rewatching the game on his kindle 🤣. Such good memories, I wish Barnett well.

  9. One thing i never understood was how after year 2 Barnett never had to do interviews, was never interviewed, is never seen in any content interacting, never looks happy, never seen him helping in the community, dude was just a ghost and i know BG has to be sad a bit because he praised dude every year that his time was coming trying to give him confidence.

  10. He’s gonna be a plant on the Cowboys. When he makes a critical roughing the passer penalty in the divisional round on the final drive.

  11. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya! Had some nice plays, but a lot of bone headed ones as well.

  12. That fumble recovery was worth the 1st round pick but won’t be sad to seen him in a different uni
