Wedding? All he has to do is live through the bachelor party, show up at the altar, and say I do like most men.:p

My guess is Barksdale hasn't signed with anyone yet because he wanted more money than anyone was willing to pay and is learning that the market for his services isn't what he and his agent may have initially believed.

I wish Barksdale the very best I knew the first time I was introduced to my bride of 24 years and I said to her "look" and she responded by saying..."I don't look I am looked at." At that moment I knew she was the one for me...Good luck Joe!

I like it better when you do it. It's your formatting skills. :whistle:

Nice try but laziness won't cut it even with compliments. :)

Relax folks... he already has a agreement in hand with the Rams. He just wanted to keep it on the down low so that his wedding were number #1 in terms of his life partner.

Best of luck to the happy couple.

Seems very possible seeing how he's not on the FA tour. I hope you're right.

Congrats!!!

Just celebrated 25th this past October. My wife lets me think I make decisions... Marriage can be like the Matrix that way...
To misquote Rodney Carrington: "I'm the king of my castle...when my wife let's me be" :D And thanks for the congrats!

This explains a lot!

I hope these Weddings don't take the edge off of their games!

I will be Married 40 years this coming Wednesday ( March 18th) and I guarantee they've made their LAST decisions on their own!!
Congratulations my friend! That is no small task. Getting married myself on 5/17.

Its very hard not to really like this guy named Joe Barksdale. I hope the best for him & his new wife! Yes weddings are very time con summing & it would be a bad ideal to have your mind on your future career & your wedding at the same time.

It would appear that the Ram org. has set there price on what this ORT is worth & are sticking to it, just like that of center Tim Barnes who they let join Barksdale in trying to find out their real worth in the UFA'cy of NFL teams. Rams 2014 #7 OL'er Mike Person did rather well for himself after entering UFA'cy. Person found a team that fits his style. Person will be a starting OL'er this upcoming season in Atlanta.

Seems to me that Barksdale needs to find a team who is a #1-strong running team with a #2-quick release & #3-very mobile QB who can move away from all the free rushers that gets bye Joe so often. The team I describe above is certainly not the Rams. Barksdale is not a good fit here.
