RB Marion Barber retires-- Fri Mar 23 6:20 pm -- Following a seven year career
The addition of Michael Bush to the Chicago Bears' backfield seemed to spell the end for Marion Barber. But maybe Barber knew the end was coming long before any personnel decisions were made.
Barber, 28, has decided to retire, the Bears announced Friday. He was due a base salary of $1.9 million for 2012 and had a cap figure of $2.25 million. His decision saves the Bears $2 million in cap space. The reason behind Barber's decision is unknown, although he dealt with a nagging calf injury all of last season. He finished the year with 422 yards on 114 carries with six touchdowns.(Chicago Tribune)
FF Today's Take:The bruising back played a physical style of game that resulted in a lot of successful goal line carries but also a lot of wear and tear on his body, cutting his career to just seven seasons.
