The Tennessee Titans have made a strategic move to bolster their defensive line by signing linebacker Cody Barton to a three-year deal worth $21 million, as reported by NFL Network. Barton, a versatile six-year veteran, brings a wealth of experience from his previous stints with the Seattle Seahawks, Washington Commanders, and most recently, the Denver Broncos. In the 2024 season, he recorded 52 solo tackles, 1.5 sacks, two interceptions, and forced a fumble, showcasing his capability as a playmaker.

With his ability to defend against both the run and pass, Barton's arrival is expected to significantly strengthen the Titans' defense. The team is looking to revamp its defensive strategy while enhancing their linebacking corps, which struggled in previous seasons. Barton's experience and productivity could be pivotal as the Titans aim to improve their overall performance in the upcoming season.
