“It’s interesting – had you asked me at the combine if he’d be back, I would have said, ‘Probably not.’ Well, it sure looked like that when he had verbally agreed with the Jets and changed his mind,” Caplan said. “This happens in every free agency, generally with 1-3 players. I’ve reported on these players in the past, specifically Frank Gore, where we’ve told people they were going to go somewhere, but they didn’t sign a contract, and they changed their mind, and there’s that saying, ‘Home is where the heart is.’ There’s no doubt about it. … That’s part of free agency. It’s not just signing someone else’s players; it’s re-signing your own players, which is absolutely huge.”
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said he was not surprised that Barr reconsidered “because this is a place the players like, it’s a place the players come where they know they can win – they’re going to have a shot every year. It’s a really well-managed roster, team, locker room. It’s just a good place.
