WSU NT Robert Barber’s signing with Carolina Panthers on hold pending result of court case

At the conclusion of the NFL Draft on Saturday, Washington State nose tackle Robert Barber signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Carolina Panthers.

However, by the time he sent the signed contract back to his agent, he was told that Carolina had pulled the offer pending the result of his court case.

Barber was charged with second degree felony assault in February after allegedly punching a WSU student at a party last July. However, he pleaded not-guilty at his arraignment in March, and his attorney, Stephen Graham, filed a motion to dismiss the assault charge.
