DMN Blog: Richard Bartel... No progress in Barber/Hamlin talks

by Calvin Watkins

Looking forward to seeing Richard Bartel this weekend when the Cowboys' rookies and first year players get together at Valley Ranch.

Bartel is the No. 3 quarterback in name only and with Jerry Jones talking about looking for a veteran QB to add to the roster, Chris Simms, as Archer pointed out earlier, the pressure is on.

Bartel has the strongest arm on the team, among the QBs that is, but he needs to be more accurate and poised in the pocket. Let's see if he can do that this weekend. Now, his job isn't on the line or anything this weekend, but he can make the right moves to solidify his spot on the roster come training camp.


Free safety Ken Hamlin, who was franchised this spring, hasn't made any progress toward a new contract with the Cowboys. I wonder if the Cowboys will wait until training camp to take care of him

He's a key to Brian Stewart, the DC, and his goals of running the defense.

No comment on T.O.

Just talked to our favorite agents, well one of them, Drew Rosenhaus, who represents Terrell Owens and he had no comment on T.O. forgetting to pay the Eagles some of their bonus money back.

Also, Rosenhaus said there is nothing new to report regarding running back Marion Barber and his contract talks with the Cowboys.

Cowboys offering a new contract in the $30 million range for Barber. He wants something between $40 million and $60 million.
