Should Bengals go after waived Eagles DE Derek Barnett?

Should the Bengals go after Derek Barnett?

Over the last few years of Cincinnati Bengals football, we’ve raised the point of Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett as a possible trade candidate.

Now Barnett is set to be a free agent after the Eagles waived him on Friday.

The 14th overall pick in 2017, Barnett never surpassed 6.5 sacks in a season with the Eagles and last year saw his playing time take a nose dive. Things escalated over the last few weeks, as he was a healthy scratch in Week 9 and recently listed as out due to personal reasons.

Despite that spiral that led to his departure in Philadelphia, Barnett is still just 27 years old and inheriting his contract wouldn’t cost all that much.

More importantly, the Bengals could really use some better pass-rushing depth after a brutally slow start for the likes of Joseph Ossai. Adding Barnett now could help the defense carry the Joe Burrow-less offense while also giving the team a look at a guy who might be able to be part of the long-term plan.

As always with waiver claims though, the Bengals won’t get first priority if they choose to go after Barnett on the wire.

Should the Ravens have an interest in DE Derek Barnett after he’s waived by Eagles?

The Philadelphia Eagles are waiving defensive end Derek Barnett and he could be a good fit for the Baltimore Ravens if he goes unclaimed

The Ravens are always looking to add talent to the roster, and with Broderick Washington starting to fall out of favor, a former Eagles pass rusher could fit the Bill.

Philadelphia is waiving their 2017 first-round pick, and if he goes unclaimed on waivers, Baltimore could be the perfect landing spot.

Through 11 weeks this season, Washington has 12 total tackles, one sack, and one fumble recovery while losing snaps to Brent Urban and Jadeveon Clowney.

Barnett missed last week’s win over Kansas City for personal reasons, and he had yet to practice this week while remaining away from the team.

Waiving Barnett allows him to land with what should be a host of suitors interested in a physical, run-stopping pass rusher.

Barnett, 27, was a first-round pick by the Eagles in the 2017 NFL Draft, and he’s been solid, logging 21.5 sacks over his seven-year career.

Moving on from Barnett will allow rookie pass rusher Nolan Smith to see more reps on the edge for Philadelphia.

The Eagles wanted more pressure on the opposing quarterback, and according to PFF, Barnett has 0 pressures in 55 pass-rush snaps this season.

He’s stout against the run, bringing physicality to multiple spots along the defensive front.
