ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - Veteran inside linebacker Cody Barton is signing with the Denver Broncos, his agent David Canter announced in a social media post Friday night.
Barton, 27, had 121 tackles for the Washington Commanders last season. That followed a career-high 136-tackles in his fourth and final season in Seattle in 2022.
Before that, he was a rotational player for the Seahawks, who selected him in the third round out of Utah in 2019.
Barton's deal is for one year with a base pay of about $3.5 million.
He replaces free agent Josey Jewell, who signed a three-year, $22.75 million deal with the Carolina Panthers this week after spending six seasons in Denver.
