Barber And Cowboys In Contract Talks, Other Trades Possible

The latest news has Marion Barber’s agent involved with contract talks with the Cowboys and reportedly asking for a $40-60 million, long-term deal.  Although Barber did have a great season in ‘07, making his first Pro Bowl and rushing for 975 yards, he technically wasn’t the starting RB(except for one game), so the Cowboys have only [...]
