The Facts:
Barden is set to become an unrestricted free agent and, though the Giants have some interest in re-signing him, Barden — healthy and only 27 years old — will hit the open market on March 12. “We have spoken and they do have interest in re-signing him,’’ Jeff Sperbeck, Barden’s agent, told the Post. “We agreed that he’ll test the market and see how it unfolds.’’

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Barden started only one game in his four-year career with the Giants. It was Sept. 20 of last season in Charlotte and he was unstoppable. He used his 6-6 frame to shield defenders on slant patterns en route to a nine-reception, 138-yard eruption as the Giants coasted past the Panthers 36-7. ... According to Post staffer Paul Schwartz, the Giants would take Barden back, but won’t make any significant financial commitment to him, basically re-signing him to return and compete for a roster spot. Barden clearly wants more than that and hopes there’s a team out there willing to invest in a physically imposing receiver who never put much of anything together with the Giants. After four seasons, he has 29 catches for 394 yards and no touchdowns.
