I'm not sure how Barclay makes the roster minus a mass outbreak of leprosy among the starters and rookies.

Yep.  I think he's just camp insurance in case injuries hit hard.  Better to have him on the roster at the beginning than scrambling to find someone if it's a week before the season and they all of a sudden need an extra guy.  He also knows the system, knows how they like to practice and is more challenging competition for the young guys than an undrafted free agent. 

He'll stay with the Packers if they end up needing him, but most likely end up going to somewhere like Seattle.  He'll be an upgrade there.  Barclay should have a long journeyman career in the NFL like Barbre or Newhouse.
