Running back Tiki Barber, who retired after the 2006 to strike while the media iron was hot, has decided to return to the game after four years away from it, is returning to football.
Barber’s agent, Mark Lepselter, has disclosed on Twitter that Barber “has filed the papers with the NFL to officially come out of retirement.”
(Reached for comment via text, Lepselter confirmed to PFT that the announcement is legit.)
Lepselter tells Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com that “there are interested parties.”
If Barber still had one or more years remaining on his contract when he retired, the Giants still hold his rights, so any “interested parties” would be tampering.
Either way, the Giants would have to decide whether to keep Tiki or cut him loose, once he is reinstated by the NFL.
Barber’s media career has bottomed out; he currently works for Yahoo! Sports.
