Thanks for the update

I bet he gets some offers that'll make him turn his head.

[Kclee]

I wonder if he will ever get an INT? In his stats I see that he forced 1 fumble in his career, but somehow he has also lost 1 fumble also, so as far as a +/- turnover ratio goes, he has ZERO! Wow.

How on earth did he lose a fumble? I don't remember that, and would love to get an explanation.

[royr17]

He does have a Interception, in preseason that is, lol.

[Phobia]

I'd say ESPN is wrong.

He won't even turn his head when he hears his name called

I tried it at warmups one time

I keep thinking that since Herm was a former DB, our DBs have GOT to be better next year.

Dumping Billy Bartee and Warfield (Crispy and Toasy) and whacking McCleon (McNugget) has got to be a good start.

Who's next? That's the big question.

Seems like we'd need at least one free agent, and maybe one relatively high draft pick in the defensive secondary. We need a starting corner bad.

I forget the game, but didn't he touch a punt that the other team recovered? Does that count as a fumble?

Yes! That is it. I remember that now.

Isn't that a muff? Don't you have to establish possession for it to be a fumble?

[CoMoChief]

Maybe some team will look at his numbers and say, "hey....theres only one way to go and thats up!" Cya Bartee, thanks for sucking more than any other DB in the NFL. If we offer anything to him Im gonna be pissed. Not signing Benard and resigning Bartee will about send me over the edge.

[Kclee]

Well I don't think there is a 'muff' stat.(unless there is some sort of cheerleading stat I don't know about) So it must go under the fumble catagory. Just like when a ball bounces off a punt returner, he doesn't get control of the ball and it's a live ball. But I do remember Bartee blocking someone and the ball hitting him during a punt and the other team got it.

Skins will probably sign him for 6 years for 48 million with 25 mil bonus.

I am glad they are gone.

[Skyy God]

This is likely wrong. Bartee signed a 4 year deal in 2004. Unless his riding the pine the last year voided the back end of the deal, which I highly doubt.

I'd like this to be right, however.

Why? He never turned his head for anything else.

[Coach]

Hmm... interesting. Unless there was a club option or a player option, or that he was released that we haven't heard about, NFLPA still identified him as a Chief.

2005 800000.00
2006 1100000.00

Never before has a millionaire done so little to earn so much. He's living the American dream.

Bartee has - or rather had - clauses in his contract that would allow him to void the remaining years if he reached certain performance targets.

The confusion right now is trying to figure out the pathetically low targets that had to be in the contract in order for Bartee to reach them. I would imagine that they ran something like this:

1. Maintain a body temperature of at least 95 degrees F for the entire season.

2. Display evidence of brain stem activity.

How on earth did he lose a fumble? I don't remember that, and would love to get an explanation.I think it was on the Punt return where the ball hit his foot when Dante was trying to get away from the punt.

You forgot to include:

3. Blink at least once per game.

4. Not forget his name more than twice per day.

5. Wake up eventually.

6. Sleep.

7. And most important of all, sign the back of those enormous pay checks.
