Hundreds of players from all across the NFL will report to training camp this week including the New England Patriots. However, Gary Barnidge won’t be one of them. The former Cleveland Browns’ Pro Bowl tight end remains unsigned following his release from Cleveland this April.
Barnidge, who’ll turn 32 in September, has collected 178 catches, 2,258 yards, and 14 touchdowns in 124 games over eight seasons. The former Panthers fifth-round draft choice played four seasons with Carolina from 2008 to 2012 until joining the Browns in 2013.
In 2015, Barnidge earned his first Pro Bowl invite, hauling in 79 grabs for 1,039 yards and nine touchdowns in 16 games with Cleveland.
