ATENEARS Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 According to kffl: The potential of the Dallas Cowboys trading RB Marion Barber III is a possibility, but it remains a long shot, according to The Dallas Morning News' Todd Archer. Barber will earn nearly $8 million this year through roster bonus and base salary. After this year, he has another $24 million or so left on his contract extension, which runs through 2014. According to Archer, it always appeared the financials would get in the way of Barber being dealt. However, with it being an uncapped year, any team interested in Barber would not have to worry about the signing bonus proration or cap room to make a trade work. Any other team could simply let Barber play out this year and if they do not want to pay him the remainder, they could cut him or rework the deal.
