Testy negotiations with MB3 may force Dallas to take McFadden
Quote:
The Dallas Cowboys own the 22d and 28th selections in the first round, and some have speculated they might be willing to part with both if Arkansas running back Darren McFadden slips down the draft board (perhaps to the Jets at 6, or the Patriots at 7) according to the Boston Globe.
After exchanging contract proposals with starting running back Marion Barber last week, the Cowboys might be more inclined to make such a move.
According to published reports in Dallas, the Cowboys are offering a five-year deal with a total value of $30 million, while Barber is seeking a deal worth $40 million. Barber becomes a free agent after the season
I like barber and all, but he hasnt even rushed for 1000 yards yet. He is not a guy that deserves to get paid like an elite runner. If he hits 1,400 yards this year, then mabey.
Thats my prob with him, he gets gassed. He is absolutly amazing if he has someone to take some carries, but if he has to carry too much for a period of time we runs out of gas
