The Cleveland Browns may have jettisoned veteran tight end Gary Barnidge from their organization immediately after drafting David Njoku in the first round, but there are three other fan bases in the AFC North right now hoping that their team gives him a call. And Barnidge is hoping one team’s number in particular shows up on his caller ID.
Barnidge is just two years removed from a breakout Pro Bowl season, even though his number last season—playing with literally five different quarterbacks—took a hit. Many, I imagine, are viewing him as a one-hit wonder, since he bettered his numbers in his first six years in just one season.
