"Barber's manager, Mark Lepselter, has informed the New York Post that his client's decision to attempt an NFL comeback was based upon "some overtures made to him recently." Lepselter would not divulge any more information on these "overtures (ESPN)."
Wow, I would've never have guessed this comeback, but apparently he has already filled out the paper work, and once there is a new CBA he will hit free agency. Tiki will be 36 in April, and I really doubt he has much left in the tank. I mean this guy hasn't play since 2006, so I really think this is asking a lot. Then again his last season he rushed for 1,662, and obviously will come in 100% healthy.
My guess is that a team brings him to camp, but then he gets cut, and either goes back to the booth or the UFL. That hasn't stopped Antonio Pierce from ripping him as a "leader"...
"Tiki Barber, the football player, great player, will be very productive probably in certain situations, third-down, maybe can help out a young quarterback, some young running backs, depending on who it is," Pierce said on ESPN's "NFL Live" per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPNNewYork.com. "Tiki Barber, the leader, the person in that locker room? He is not going to do anything for your team. Now if that is the guy you think you are bringing in, you might want to look in another direction (ESPN)."
So, I guess his comeback won't be with the Gaints.
