Derek Barnett News
The Houston Texans are re-signing defensive end Derek Barnett to a one-year deal, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The 27-year-old was claimed off waivers last November and racked up 19 tackles and 2.5 sacks in six games for Houston. Barnett was originally a first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles after he broke Reggie White's school record for career sacks (33.0) at Tennessee. He did not develop into the star Philadelphia hoped for, producing 21.5 sacks in his first 72 games with the organization. In Houston, he'll be utilized as a rotational pass-rusher for a unit that now looks to be stacked with talent. Will Anderson Jr., Danielle Hunter, and Denico Autry all had at least seven sacks last year.
The Philadelphia Eagles are waiving defensive end Derek Barnett on Friday, according to sources. The 14th overall pick of the 2017 NFL draft is expected to draw plenty of interest and find a new home quickly. Barnett missed the Eagles' last two games due to personal reasons and has also been bothered by an ankle injury in 2023. The 27-year-old hasn't been as productive in 2023 coming off pectoral surgery from last year, but he will be plenty attractive to teams looking for defensive line help the rest of the way. Barnett only has three tackles (one solo) on the year in eight games played, but he has racked up 21.5 sacks in 73 career NFL games (45 starts) since 2017 with Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett is gauging the market for the potential to play elsewhere in 2023, according to sources. The Eagles plan to keep Barnett but also understand that a deep pass-rushing roster limits his playing time. The first-rounder in 2017 should have trade value, but it remains to be seen if the Eagles will find the right fit with another team. The 27-year-old is also trying to return from an ACL tear that he suffered in the season opener last year. There should be plenty of interest from pass-rush-needy teams heading into the 2023 regular season. In his six seasons in Philly, Barnett has recorded 147 tackles (95 solo), 21.5 sacks, 36 tackles for loss, 76 QB hits, and three fumble recoveries (one for a touchdown) in 65 games (45 starts).
