Barnett has been in the league for seven years now. Seven! They wouldn’t be giving up on him as much as admitting he just hasn’t panned out despite seven seasons of opportunity.

my point, which I probably didnt make very well is, his salary is already in the cap figures so if its a choice between keeping

Patrick Johnson, Janarius Robinson and him, I am keeping Barnett ​

I dont think they'll give up on Derek Barnett, unless someone makes them an offer they cant refuse, like a 2nd rd.

Roob speculated in late April that Barnett wouldn't be on the team. I guess it's a combo of his health, and they feel Barnett offers versus the other backups. It seems unlikely that it will make a big difference whether he makes the team or doesn't, as he's got to be pretty far down on the rotation.

I didn't realize his cap hit was so high. For 2023, his cap hit is $3,115,823, and the dead cap hit is $10,692,000. Interestingly, he's also on the books for 2024, with a cap hit of $7,215,000 and a dead cap hit of the same amount (all per Spotrac.com).

wow, based on those numbers, I'd say he'd have a good chance on sticking. If you have to pay him any how (at least against the cap) might as well play him ,heck he might even make a play

It's a sunk cost either way. Howie's objective has to be having THE BEST 53-man roster in 2023. If Barnett isn't one of those players, then his cost is irrelevant. They'll incur it regardless and may as well try to maximize their on-field product.

He’s good for 1 or 2 a season, after that 🤷‍♂️
