Mike Barrows Return?

[Carnage]

Is anyone else concerned that at 35 this guy has not run in more than a year? It's one thing to stay in shape at that age, but another to get back in to shape.

Good point, wandering bear. If he is cleared to participate in the minicamp, they'll probably take a look at his conditioning. If they think he looks out of shape and not 100% healthy, I'm sure they'll drop the axe.

Remember in 03 he lead the NFL in tackles and had to be in excellent shap to take that kind of beating. His body has had a year of rest which may help. I also think that with age comes knowledge which is a tremendes advantage at his position.
