Howie Roseman made a surprising decision earlier this week in bringing back Derek Barnett. It’s not that the move is a bad one, it’s what it implies about the esteemed Eagles general manager and his attachment issues which have been well documented up to this point.
Why was Derek Barnett retained?
Barnett isn’t exactly brilliant. He’s young, sure, and he can occasionally make a flash-in-the-plan play and magically appear at the right time, but he’s had more penalties than sacks in his NFL career and has struggled to show anything close to what would be deemed as consistent play.
