Cody Barton, Tennessee Titans, Agree to Contract
After signing a modest one-year contract with the Denver Broncos, Cody Barton starred on one of the league’s best defenses in 2024. Appearing in all 17 games while making 14 starts, Barton finished his first year in Mile High with two interceptions, five passes defended, 1.5 sacks, 106 tackles, two tackles-for-loss, two quarterback hits, and a 63.7 PFF grade, the 46th-best mark out of 84 eligible players. With his help, the Denver Broncos made the playoffs but went one-and-done following a blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Cody Barton originally entered the league as a third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Selected by the Seattle Seahawks, the Utah product needed some time to make a name for himself. While Barton appeared in all 16 games as a rookie, he only made two starts while recording 23 tackles and one pass defended. He continued seeing backup work in 2020 and 2021 but finally broke out in the final year of his rookie deal.
Earning a starting job, Cody Barton became a key piece of the 2022 Seattle Seahawks defense. Appearing in all 17 games, the former third-round pick finished his season with two interceptions, six passes defended, two sacks, 136 tackles, four tackles-for-loss, two quarterback hits, and a 56.6 PFF grade. With his help, the Seahawks made a surprise playoff appearance but lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round.
Cody Barton turned his breakout season into a one-year contract with the Washington Commanders. While a high-ankle sprain limited him to just 13 games, he still recorded one interception, 121 tackles, three tackles-for-loss, and a 53.9 PFF grade while on the field.
