Hard to say with Barr. He did play every game last season, and hasn’t been on a team since. I have to assume he’s no longer a great player, or at least not in the Cowboys system. But at this point in the season your only options are your own practice squad, other practice squads, and free agents. Usually none of those buckets are deep with talent.
At least with Barr he’s always been a smart player and has the experience to in theory pick things up quickly.
And like Dobbs he’s here also in case one of the players we do have gets hurt. Eventually Barr might work himself into a starter type role, but early on he’s insurance too.
