Who will take a chance on Tiki Barber after the season starts?

Writers from around the Tribune Co. share their thoughts on Tiki Barber's comeback attempt and the possibility of whether a team might still sign him this season.

I don’t think any team will be desperate enough to sign Tiki Barber, especially now that he’s strongly indicating -– through his agent –- that he’s moving on with his life.

Running backs commonly hit the wall around 30 and their statistics nosedive in the years that follow. Barber is 36 and hasn’t played since 2006, when he retired as the Giants’ all-time rushing and receptions leader.

He’s a talented guy, and I suppose there would be a nice, sentimental story were he to join his twin brother, Ronde, with the Buccaneers. But that move wouldn’t make much football sense.

There are plenty of young backs who are good enough to merit a chance in the league. There is life after “Today” for Barber, but it’s not back in the NFL. Good night, Tiki.
