“I haven’t had a conversation with him,” Harbaugh said in his Monday press conference. “We don’t really have a roster opportunity right now for that, [but] I wouldn’t be opposed to it. Antwan’s a good person, a good player, and obviously he’s done some good things here.

“But right now, there’s just no way, roster-wise, we could pull that off.”

To state the obvious, doesn't look like it is happening..

I hope Antwan find something to do like the UFL and stay in football shape.

His service will be needed one day, especially with the injuries out there.

Injuries are part of the game, and the team must prepare for everything.

Good thing, the Ravens haven't faced any serious injury bug.

Also, looks like we stole a 7th round from the Eagles.

I wouldn't worry about him to long. And the UFL? This boy has plenty of NFL left in him. Do you know how many teams would love to get their hands on an ex Raven LB (with upside)? A lot.

Yea it was conditional. And I very highly doubt those conditions were met.

IR gooden and sign barnes

or we could IR gaither an sign barnes if gaither can play this year.

[BloodRaven]

If Harbs wanted him back, he'd get him. Theres more to this than is being let on. Oh well.

[Perfekt]

I doubt we will but im just throwing out ideas. I saw on the late for work for today that we tried out replacements for Birk. Did anyone hear anything about him being injuried?

Yeah I read on rotoworld that Aaron Wilson speculated that Barnes was traded because he was not willing to contribute on special teams.

Which is understandable but I mean come on Harbs, we have enough special teamers and no legit pass rusher opposite Suggs. We can sacrifice one ST spot to add depth to our pass rush.

IR Gooden? Cut Phillips?

disappointing... I really liked Barnes, and we have a plethora of DTs, but in Oz we trust

kinda funny how the Chargers wanted him after the only INT he has had in his career was off Rivers.. it'll be weird seeing him wear #98, too. I think he'll have more success with SD than he did in Philly playing outside in the 3-4, but we'll see.
