Barnes (6’0 – 215 lbs) signed as a free agent with the Chicago Bears in 2010 where he spent a portion of the season on their practice roster. The Bowling Green product holds the NCAA single season reception record with 155 (1,770 yards) in 2009. He also broke Randy Moss’s single season Mid-American Conference yardage record.
Anyone who breaks a season record by Moss (for playing stats anyways) is an exciting prospect.
No my point is every year he is injured and put on the injury list. Perhaps it is his way of insurance of a salary? Anyways, if he will never play why keep him. Release him when he is health, we have tons of new receivers that we may want to keep.
