Someone had said not to long ago he was struggling.

I think it was Dez Bryant.

RIP MB24!

Terrible news to open my phone to!! I always liked Barber, and in fact, I still have his jersey.

His 2 yard run against the Patriots is one of my favorite runs of all time!

RIP Barber. A life lost too soon.

Mental health is a real issue. RIP. Sad sad news.

Please don't speculate.

His 3-4 year run ranks up there as my favorite for any Cowboy spanning about 40 years watching this team. RIP

I agree. I loved watching him play. Man, what a tragedy. Outside of Emmitt he was my favorite RB.

 

[Big_C_KU]

Very sad. One of my absolute favorite Cowboys ever.

 

[CowboyStar88]

That is just so sad. Knew he was struggling with his mental health. RIP young man.

Someone had said not to long ago he was struggling.

I think many worried that this would be the outcome
So sad
Loved his playing style but that may have been the driving force itself

The man had the right attitude and came to play football every Sunday. Liked his enthusiasm and heart, always 100%. What a bruiser and banger.

Peace be with you, young man, you put smiles on lots of people faces!

RIP…that’s unfortunate.

This one breaks my heart. One of my heroes growing up. It hurt me to even hear he was doing bad but if you watched his playing style....we complain that these guys get paid too much and should take hometown discounts....this is why I always side with the players. He gave 100% and more every single Sunday. To the detriment of his own health. At this point you just hope he's found peace. REST IN PEACE KING.

One of my favorite moments from him....wasn't anything on the field...
