Player Notes
July 17, 2008
The Dallas Morning News reports that Marion Barber will be an every down back despite the Cowboys using their first round pick on RB Felix Jones.

Our View:Felix Jones may keep Barber from getting 300 carries, but he should get close, barring injury. Barber should be considered a top-10 running back both for his ability at the goal line and his role in one of the league's best offenses.
May 20, 2008
Marion Barber and the Cowboys have agreed to terms on a new seven-year, $45 million deal, with $16 million guaranteed, as reported by agent Drew Rosenhaus, according to the Dallas Morning News. Barber will earn $21 million over first three years of the deal. Rosenhaus said, "I gotta credit the Cowboys, they do a great job of getting players signed. Representing Marion's been a pleasure, on and off the field, he's a champ."

Our View:Barber earned his lucrative new deal, as he rushed for 975 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2007, and added another 282 yards and two scores on 44 receptions.
May 14, 2008
Dallas RB Marion Barber has decided to skip the Cowboys' off-season workouts as his agent and the team continue to discuss long-term contract options, according to the Marion Barber .

Our View:Barber has refused to sign the team's one-year, $2.562 million tender and is now using the typical forms of persuasion agent Drew Rosenhaus would suggest. Organized team activities begin next week, and you can bet Barber won't be showing up for those if this is not worked out by then as well.
May 2, 2008
The Dallas Cowboys are in the beginning stages of discussions with agent Drew Rosenhaus regarding running back Marion Barber's future, according to the Dallas Morning News. The Cowboys feel the six-year, $34.5 million deal Michael Turner signed in Atlanta is in the general vicinity of what they want to pay Barber, while Rosenhaus is seeking between $40-60 million for his client.

Our View:These negotiations could get interesting, as the organization provided themselves with some leverage with the recent additions of rookie running backs Felix Jones and Tashard Choice.

It is unlikely that the Dallas Cowboys will have a contract extension in place with running back Marion Barber prior to the NFL draft, according to the Dallas Morning News. "That's not in any way to diminish how important our talks with Barber are. Let me be real clear about that," owner Jerry Jones said. "It's just that, first of all, nothing is going to happen between today and the draft anyway. I'm going to assume, just as we have both in the long term and the short term, that we'll get something worked out with Marion." Jones also made sure to note that he'd be fine without getting a high-round back, and having to put a heavier load on Barber.

Our View:The two sides have a wide gap to close in the negotiations. The Cowboys have offered a deal in the $30 million range, while Barber wants between $40-60 million. Early in the season it sounded like Jones was infatuated with Darren McFadden, and might possibly move up in the draft to select him. However, those rumblings have died down, thus we expect Barber to receive an increased workload in 2008.
