For what it's worth,here is some more infro about Rarton,our latest offensive lineman.Not exactly a stellar resume.

The 6-foot-6, 300-pound Barton was a seventh-round draft pick by the Chicago Bears in 2008 but played in only one game before being released. He had stints with San Francisco, Miami and Cincinnati since, but has not played in any other games.

He did not see any action in 2009.

He was a first-team All-American for Ohio State in 2007.

Sounds like he doesn't want to play for us:

The guy was unlikely to make the roster.

Probably realized he would never make a squad. Why would you want to bust your ass year after year in training camp.....only to be cut once again.

Time to move on.

    • Rags lost again. All is right in the hockey world. 
    • He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan. 
    • I'm a big fan of Dan. His ability to find productive players deep in the draft will pay off.  I'm going to give him 1.5 draft classes right now, because I do think it's a little unfair to evaluate his first year when he got the job in January, especially when we went into that draft not having a first round pick.  XL and Brooks are still big time TBD players. Both still have incredibly high ceilings, but both have also given us legitimate reasons to have a lot of pause. Trevin Wallace, Chau Smith Wade and Jatavion Sanders have IMO outplayed their draft position early in their careers. That's a great thing. He also got Coker and Demani Richardson as UDFAs that year. Given the situation we were in, I really don't mind the gamble on the high ceiling guys. Still may work out, still may not, but if you made a checklist of ideal situation for an NFL GM to walk into, ours was near the bottom of that list.  Every single 2025 pick is contributing in some way. That typically doesn't happen. I am absolutely blown away by this draft class 6 games in. Even the best GM's miss on occasion, and we can't expect Dan to be 100% on drafts moving forward. Ryan Fitzgerald was an excellent find as well.  Comparing our last two drafts to the previous few is pretty shocking. Can you imagine this season without our Rookies? It would not be good. Additionally, this roster only has 6 players with more than 6 years of experience, and two of those are specialist.  The next step is equally important, and still very much TBD. We have to avoid Cap Chaos.
