Barnidge's eighth-year breakout at age 30 with his first 1,000-yard season (also his first 250-yard season) proved unsustainable; he finished TE19 the following season and failed to deliver championship value.

Source transcript excerpt
Barnidge had that super common eighth-year breakout that everyone in the biz knows is a real thing. At 30 years old, the Browns tight end enjoyed his first 1,000-yard season … which also happened to be his first 250-yard season. This guy played just one more NFL season that yielded a disappointing TE19 finish.
