Drew Rosenhaus has another client with the Cowboys. Rosenhaus has added running back Marion Barber to his client list, joining teammate Terrell Owens. Barber had been agent-less for a little spell, having been on a search for a few weeks. Rosenhaus said he spoke with Cowboys VP Stephen Jones on Tuesday and hopes to have some talks with the club about a new contract when the time is right. Barber is scheduled to be a restricted free agent following the season. At the very least the Cowboys will have to put the first- or second-round tender on Barber next off-season. Barber joins a stable of stud running backs represented by Rosenhaus and his brother, Jason: Edgerrin James, Frank Gore, Fred Taylor, Willis McGahee, Clinton Portis and, interestingly, Julius Jones' brother, Thomas. Rosenhaus has taken some hits for his "next question," press conference when Owens was in Philadelphia, but he is good at what he does and there is a reason why players sign with him. |

What are the chances the Cowboys would sign Jeremiah Trotter?
Are we going to have Michael Vick recruit inmates for a football team to play against the prison guards?
Let's.

I really hope that we can get MB3 locked up long-term, but I'm leery of that bum Rosenhaus and his antics. He'll want Barber paid like an elite back and I'm unsure that he's worth quite that much given his home-run limitations. Lets just hope they get a fair deal done b/c I'd be mighty ticked if I saw him walk out of town. Best pick of the Parcells era besides Canty IMO.

Oh Goody Goody Gumdrops!!! You can never have too many Rosenhaus clients on your team. I hope we do get D-Fad in the draft, otherwise Rosenhaus will use Barber's gaudy TD #'s to extort Jerry for all he can get. Good thing Jerry is a big bidness man.

Are you sure about Barber being a F/A after THIS season? I know J. Jones is but could have sworn Barber had 2 years left on his contract.

Chris, yes, we are sure on Barber's contractual status. He voided out the last year of his deal and will be a restricted free agent after this season.
