Barnett used to be a great linebacker in this league. However, he’s 30 and coming off a season ending injury. This wasn’t exactly a cheap signing either, giving Barnett 4 million per year over 3 years with half of that guaranteed. Considering Tulloch and Ruud both went for 4 million per year, the Bills overpaid. They also gave him too much guaranteed money over too long of a contract.
