I thought the old Lions RB was coming back.

I had to google.

He was subsequently drafted in the 17th round of the NFL European League draft by the Scottish Claymores and played there in the spring of 1999.

The Oakland Raiders picked Sims up as a free agent during training camp in 1999; his first start was in game 5 of the 1999 season. Sims has, as of 2007, played in 110 NFL games with 96 starts, seven playoff starts, two Conference Championships and one Super Bowl.

For the 2007 season, Sims replaced Robert Gallery as the starter at left tackle.

On February 29, 2008 Sims was released by the Raiders, and he currently remains a free agent.

Ia a RAIDERS fan and I intially thought the same thing; really, SF, Ravens, Rams, couold all use Chirs Simms as well.

I disagree. The Ravens are loaded at QB. They just don't have the play calling they need anymore.

Brian Billick | 06/23/08, 10:37 AM

The Rams don't need Chris Simms....... but Barry could help boost the line a little bit, so I hope he ends up in STL

I read this and assumed that doucherocket of a coach in TB finally let Chris Simms go, who is barry simms?

gocoltsgo | 06/23/08, 11:19 AM

Damn it! I thought Chris Simms too. I never heard of Barry Sims. What next, a story about trading the guy that mows their grass?

Do you really need me to answer this?

Someone wants Barry Sims???? I know who Barry Sims is. He's a big tub o'lard who isn't even good enough to cut it and the Raiders O-line, thats who he is. He has no concept of "pass-blocking" therefore - if your team is interested in him, might want to make sure you have plenty of backup QB's who can step in after Tubby lets your starter get destroyed.

Comment #5 was taken from a google of Barry Sims but hey, they didn't say he was a tub of lard. Guess that's why nobody bothered to read it.

they couldn't even find a photo of him.they had to put scott linehan in instead.

chimbonda | 06/23/08, 12:25 PM

Talk about your slow sports news day. Sheeesh.

Texadillo | 06/23/08, 01:23 PM

Doesn't FN have a picture of this guy?

CowboyDave | 06/23/08, 01:27 PM

Well, just wait, there will be another Cowboy non story in a few hours. My guess is how TO's shoe string snapped.
