The Seahawks acquired Barrett from the Panthers on Thursday in exchange for cornerback Michael Jackson, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. The 2024 seventh-round pick out of Michigan has appeared in each of the Panthers' two preseason games so far, recording four total tackles. Barrett has a chance to earn a rotational defensive role now that he's in Seattle, as the Seahawks are heading into the 2024 season with a seemingly weak inside-linebacker corps.

The Panthers selected Barrett in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 240th overall. Barrett (5-foot-11, 232 pounds) was a two-year starter on a dominant Michigan defense, but he was more of a caretaker than a playmaker and rarely held any presence in the backfield (just 12.5 career tackles for loss in 35 starts). Barrett's 4.7-second 40-yard dash should be good enough for him to compete for special teams reps on the bottom of a roster, and if he can get his foot in the door then maybe Barrett will eventually pursue defensive snaps in Carolina in due time.
