Packers' Barnett donating his services

| No Comments |

Nick Barnett might feel like he's back in his Miller High School uniform when he takes the field for the Green Bay Packers season opener the night of Monday Sept. 8.

Why? The linebacker is playing for free. Donating a few tackles to the Minnesota Vikings.

The league penalty for Barnett's arrest after an altercation outside a Wisconsin bar last June is one week's pay - $155,882 of his $2.65 million salary this season. Beats being suspended.

"Now I get to play Monday night," Barnett told ESPN.com. "Pockets are a little lighter, but I still get to play."

Here is a link to the story.
