Reported to be a 6-year deal. Wow.
Now THIS I like. A 26 year old edge rusher, albeit white.

Holy shtein, 6 years?? 4 would have been better. Hate this.
Idiot, he should have gotten a five year deal.

Oh my bad. I thought your wife was turning you against your own people for a minute there.
6 years, $36m, $20m guaranteed. Incentives can get the deal as high as $40m
Edit: Caplan says it's only $8mil guarenteed
white defenders can be good in a 3-4 because its easier to scheme them into success versus them having to use their awful athleticism to get loose

Hey, nothing wrong with a big corn-fed mule or two on defense... Love the move.
this move is really where gambles importance comes into play....like i was saying in the other thread he went from 12 sacks to 3 the last two years....you need a legit set of football eyes to be able to discern which year was the real player....this is something i dont trust howie to do
I love this signing. Barwin was an animal in 2011.
Good move. Especially with only $8 million guarantee. Not that it makes a huge difference but he got his 11.5 sacks playing alongside Ryans. At least they're starting to value the LB position.
Barwin was actually Celek's backup TE at Cincinnati.
One of the primary reasons for the decline in sacks has to do with how the Texans used there OLBs last year. With their three down lineman (Watt) able to get so much pressure, then asked their linebackers to play in coverage or to key on backs. It's probably not suitable to explain the whole deal, but the OLBs didn't rush all that much.

Before any gay NFL player comes out of the closet, he needs to have some sense of what will happen when he does.
If he's a member of the Texans, he has a strong supporter in linebacker Connor Barwin.
Barwin, who has an openly gay brother, tells Outsports.com that the process of a player coming out may not be as difficult as believed, although at first it could be a challenge.
"I think right now it would probably be hard for a guy to come out in our locker room just because of the awkwardness," Barwin said. "But I think they would be surprised at how welcoming people would be. I think at the end of the day guys care about how you play football, because we're all so competitive about winning that if there is a guy who comes out as gay in our locker room and he's a good football player, people aren't going to care about that. I think that's the honest truth. I think guys care about what kind of person they are, what kind of teammate they are and how good they are at helping us win."
Barwin suggested that, if the player issn't a contributor or if teammates don't like the player's personality, it could be more problematic. "But I could be wrong," Barwin said. "It's amazing how many people know relatives or friends who are gay, so I think it might not be as hard as some people think."
Barwin also has a theory for how the first player will come out, and that it won't happen via a press conference or any other obvious declaration.
"The first guy that does come out in the NFL might confide in some of his friends and it might spread and be accepted throughout the locker room," Barwin said. "And people would just get to know he's gay and people will move on with football, the season and their life and realize it's not a big deal at all. There's nothing different about what they're doing. There's nobody having sex in the locker room, so there's nothing really different."
It could happen sooner than anyone realizes. Barwin, who said he has noticed a sharp decline in the use of gay slurs in and around football, believes adjustments to the mindset of the locker room constantly are being made.
"Things are changing rapidly, very rapidly," Barwin said.

susie would cut celeks balls off....she is not to be trifiled with
I thought they got divorced.
Gotta throw Dorenbos into the weirdo group too.
Those four could reenact the hangover
oh they did?....shes still on wip all the time...she reenacted the superbowl kissing commerical in the wip studio with some nerd intern....i thought it was such a big deal cause she still was married to celek
shtein if I know - I thought I read it somewhere. Could be wrong since I don't really go the TMZ route on the players...except Trotter and McNabb
i usually keep up pretty good with that stuff....but a quick google told me they divorced almost two years ago....i guess shes on wip still just because shes a trick....shes usually on with julie dorenbus...really you gotta wonder why shes even still in philly...trolling brent i suppose

wouldn't it be ironic if he didn't make the opening day roster
"He was more on the open side two years ago," Roseman said of Barwin's 11.5-sack campaign. "He was more in position to set the edge and cover the tight end this year. We watched him two years ago on the open side and then even this year when they played the Lions when he was doing it more. ... We think we know what we're getting here in a high-motor guy."

Connor, big fan. You're definitely in my top 5 for white guys on the Eagles defense.
My question: What is the fastest you've seen someone drink five beers? And what kind of legend would be able to do something like that?

I saw Evan Mathis drink five beers in 1:42 last summer, and he has video proof. Annoy him until he posts.

One factoid I'll never have access to: Biggest weiner in the locker room? My sleeper picks are Alex 'Moose Knuckle' Henery and Nasty Nate Allen. Your astute clarification would be appreciated.

Good feature on Barwin
So when do we start calling him Sacklemore?
From here on out. Good one

But, but, but...he's a hipster! I don't ... understand?
12.5 sacks, tied for 2nd in the league. Not bad for a hipster
hipster = super liberal = HEART
he lives (or did last year) four blocks from my bro
Saw that special about where he lives, how he's redoing the park up the street. All around great guy.

probably not the day for a white pride get together
its never the day according to you.

All bs aside he's been a helluva signing and I dig that he embraces the city and really helps to try and do his part to transform parts. Redoing the hoops court in his neighborhood is great
