Barton tallied 106 total tackles (53 solo), including 1.5 sacks, five passes defended, with two interceptions, and one forced fumble over 17 regular-season games in 2024. The first-year Bronco was one of the most impactful players on defense this season, finishing as the team's second-leading tackler behind Brandon Jones. Barton also ended the year with the third-most interceptions and fifth-most passes defended on Denver's defense. However, his tackle output has declined in each of his last two seasons, dropping from 121 stops in 2023 to 106 in 2024. Barton is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer following a successful stop in Denver. Expect the 28-year-old to be a sought-after name on the free-agent market for teams in need of inside linebacker help.

Barton finished this past Thursday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers with seven tackles (five solo). Barton was the Broncos' second-leading tackler for Week 16 behind Brandon Jones (10). Barton didn't see much playing time in the first three games of the regular season, but he has played at least 60 defensive snaps in nine of 12 games since, which coincides with Alex Singleton's season-ending ACL tear. Barton is up to 97 combined tackles through 15 regular-season games, and he is on the brink of cracking the century mark for the third straight year. He'll look to do just that in the Broncos' Week 17 clash against the Bengals on Saturday.

Barton recorded eight tackles (four solo) in the Broncos' win over the Colts on Sunday. Barton has played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in 10 of the last 11 games and is now up to 90 tackles (44 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass breakups, including two interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery, which he returned for a touchdown back in Week 7 versus New Orleans.

Barton recorded seven total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens. The 27-year-old was the Broncos' second-leading tackler in Sunday's blowout loss, trailing just Devon Key's eight-stop performance. Barton has now accumulated 55 total tackles through Denver's first nine games this season, ranking second on the Broncos' defense in stops. Expect the Utah product to continue serving as one of the team's top tacklers ahead of Week 10's matchup against the Chiefs.

Barton logged eight tackles (six solo) and returned a fumble recovery 52 yards for a touchdown during Thursday's 33-10 win over the Saints. Barton logged his first sack of the season midway through the first quarter Thursday when he got to Spencer Rattler for a loss of seven yards. Barton had a 14-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown in the second quarter nullified due to a defensive offside penalty, but he was able to return a fumble for a 52-yard score in the fourth quarter to extend the Broncos' lead to 33-3 at the time. Barton has started at inside linebacker over the last four regular-season games after Alex Singleton underwent season-ending surgery to repair a torn ACL. Over that four-game span, Barton has played every single defensive snap and has accumulated 33 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass breakup, one forced fumble and Thursday's fumble recovery for a touchdown.
