We’ve talked about this. If we had to bet, we’d bet on Jake Ryan and Blake Martinez being the Green Bay Packers’ starting inside linebackers in 2016. Maybe not at the start of the year, but certainly by the end of the year. That would leave Sam Barrington as the odd man out.
Barrington knows what’s going on.
He hears the talk. He knows he’s going to face a battle to reclaim the starting spot he earned in 2014 then lost when a foot injury shelved him for all but one game in 2015.
He doesn’t care.
