I haven't gotten a concrete yes or a concrete no yet, so it's still, I would say, up in the air. I'm hoping that there's still a chance.

We make fun of him all the time. Rod's a caveman. He barely knows how to use a cell phone. Leave him in a house by himself, and there's a good chance that he won't know how to turn on the TV because he can't figure out the remote.

I think one thing that Barrett has is he's a football player. He not only has the physical tools, but he has the instincts, too.

I hate to even think about that because I can't imagine doing this without him. I know that day is going to come. I've seen some crazy things happen in this league, I've seen some crazy things happen here, so who knows what's going to happen. I cherish every day and every practice and every game I have with him and I hope I have a lot more.

We felt that it fell into a great situation being able to get a guy that is a good player, that is a Buccaneer-style of a linebacker. He is athletic, he can change directions and he can run.

Everyone is so excited. Good things happen to people who wait.

Isn't that unbelievable? We're thrilled and excited and shocked.

I just think it would have been the right thing to do. I've been denied before on this type of thing and I never said a word about it. I understand their stance, where they're coming from. But I thought this was a unique case.

I understand that [I'm under contract], but at the same time, I thought maybe this would be different. I was hoping, because of the family element, they'd see it as a unique situation. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me and now it's all for naught.
