Barrow To Be Axed?

[CrazyCanuck]

I've always thought that if Barrow could play at all we should keep him, since we don't really save anything by cutting him.

If he can't play then I have nothing against cutting him. But I wonder why they would choose to eat the deadcap in 2006 instead of 2005.

Assuming Barrow is cut we'll have $2.1M deadcap on our books. Instead of pushing $1.7M to 2006 (our trouble year), why not just eat the entire $2.1M in 2005 and get it over with?

Good points. I don't think he'll displace Pierce as a starter. But I could see some downs where Barrow comes in, Pierce moves to his natural OLB position and either Washington or LaVar line up as a DE
