Defensive Rejuvenation
The Tennessee Titans have added linebacker Cody Barton to their defensive unit. The move reflects a broader strategy to reinvigorate the team’s defense ahead of a demanding season.
A Career in Transformation
Barton, 28, was a third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Utah and started his professional journey with the Seattle Seahawks. After departing Seattle, he continued his career with a stint in Washington before joining the Broncos. In his most recent season, he tallied 106 tackles, 1.5 sacks, two interceptions, and recorded his first professional touchdown. His performance contributed significantly to a defense that advanced to the playoffs for the first time in nearly a decade.
Strategic Impact for the Titans
With key linebackers facing free agency, the Titans sought to refresh their personnel with a player known for his versatility and leadership on the field. Barton now strengthens a linebacker contingent that includes established names, providing depth and resilience. The team anticipates that his proven abilities will play an integral role in driving a defensive turnaround.
