very indefinitive source but if its true, i hope he can pull a Warrick Dunn and still own the field at such an ancient age.

The Burris Watch has ended. Let the Tiki watch begin.

I agree about the source, I'm still skeptical, but we shall see.

Baron Batch is getting high praise and we just re-signed Mewelde. And with Mendy and Redman already locks in the backfield, it'll be tough for him to earn a roster spot. But if he does, more power to him, and hopefully he can contribute.

Please no. We do not need him and he will likely be ineffective.

I would take Randy Moss AND Terrell Owens before Barber.

A 36 year old RB? I'd rather just bring back Jim Brown.

This is not even on " Profootballtalk "....and when it comes to wild, and unsubstantiated rumors, they are #1.
So what does it mean if THEY won't even say it ????

This is where I am. I was ok with tiki coming here before but with reports about Batch and now resigning M&M I'm not sure about it anymore.

We will have to see how reliable the source is.

Moore resigned and Batch is performing as I was hoping. Next.

The Moore signing should put an end to this b/s.

Mendenhall
Redman
Moore
Batch
Clay
Dwyer

No room for Tiki...scram...

I hope it does put an end to this. If he does sign, pretty sure he'll be cut during the pre-season. I don't care how in shape he is, he's not in "football shape." Hell, I'm in pretty good shape, but could I strap on a helmet & pads and contribute to this team? NO.

None the less, I've been craving all this football talk and I can not wait for the season to get underway.

Here We Go Steelers!!!!!!

According to sources close to RotoExperts.com (http://rotoexperts.com/), Tiki Barber is set to officially come out of retirement and sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Fantasy football site reporting a fantasy....

if we didn't resign average moore i wouldnt care if we signed tiki really. but now, i just don't understand why we would want him or why he would want to come here. we have enough backs already

Here's what I know, Redman gets the ball, he seems to ALWAYS gets yardage...Mendi gets the ball he usually gets yardage, Moore knows the system and has proven to be good at picking up blitzes on 3rd downs. Everybody else is backup. They want to make the team they gotta show me something. Personally, I want Redman and Mendi to be used for more pass catching as well because Moore just isn't getting the output anymore. If Tiki can get the ball down the field fine, if he can't cya!

Surprised this died so quickly - the more stupid a rumor is, the more persistent it generally turns out to be.

Why? We have Mendenhall as our main back, Redman is our short yardage back and has proven his stay, and MeMo knows the systems and does what he is told to do with usual success. Were quite set at the RB position.

Pass! His best years are behind him. Kinda reminds me of a fantasy league I used to be in. Some dumbass called him "Kinky" Barber. LOL
