Would you hire Tiki Barber?

Would you hire Tiki Barber?

Postby Bubba1 » Wed Mar 16, 2011 10:55 am


At age 36, the NY Giants' all time rushing leader said he wants back in the NFL after retiring 4 yrs ago. As great as he was in his last 3 seasons with the Giants, they said they have no interest in him, and will release him once the lockout ends.

Probably had something to do with his criticizing Coughlin and Eli Manning right after NBC hired him as a Sports commentator. In odd twist of fate, the Giants ended up winning the Super Bowl that season, with Manning named the game's mvp. Then Tiki got fired from NBC and divorced after getting caught cheating on his pregnant wife with an NBC intern. Ouch, what a spiral. I'm sure he's motivated to play hard, and his twin brother is still a very good player in the league.

Think there are teams that'll sign him?

I would, for the bare minimum and he'd have (with a clause in his contract) to take the younger running backs under his wing, sort of like an assistant for the running backs coach!!!

I think there are several teams that could use him, but I agree the blanco, only for the league minimum. I got a feeling like the NFL owners are going to be a little hesitant to sign those big contracts with a large price tag

36? No way.

36 for a QB is one thing. For a RB? No.

His twin is still doing well in the defensive 2nd level. And that's not too easy of a job at 36.
