The Tennessee Titans have bolstered their linebacker corps by signing Cody Barton, a 28-year-old who previously played for the Denver Broncos. Barton, a third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, has transitioned from the Seattle Seahawks through the Washington Commanders before landing in Tennessee. His 106 tackles, two interceptions, and a touchdown last season contributed significantly to the Broncos' success, helping them reach the playoffs for the first time in nine years.

With impending free agency for current linebackers Jack Gibbens and Chance Campbell, Barton's addition addresses a pressing need for the Titans. He joins a linebacker room that includes Kenneth Murray Jr., Otis Reese Jr., Cedric Gray, Curtis Bolton, Kyron Johnson, and James Williams, adding depth and experience as the Titans aim for a stronger defensive performance in the upcoming season.
