Broncos' Cody Barton: Scoop-and-score vs. NOLA
Cody 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 Denver 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.

Broncos' Cody Barton: Getting competition in camp
Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette relays that Cody Barton is battling Jonas Griffith for the starting inside linebacker job alongside Alex Singleton.Barton spent the first four years of his career in Seattle after the Seahawks drafted him in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He joined the Commanders for 2023, and across 13 regular-season games he recorded 121 tackles (67 solo), one pass defended, one interception and one fumble recovery. Barton signed a one-year deal with the Denver Broncos in March, and while he has more experience and reps than Griffith, the two linebackers are expected to compete for a starting role in Denver's defense in training camp and in preseason games.

Commanders' Cody Barton: Records 121 tackles
Cody Barton recorded 121 tackles (67 solo) and one interception in 13 games during the 2023 season.The 2019 third-round pick played 93.4 percent of Washington's defensive snaps when he was on the field after taking 77.4 percent of the snaps in a 17-game, 136-tackle campaign for Seattle the year prior. From a non-fantasy standpoint, Barton was mostly a special teams guy his first three professional seasons, and there's some chance he lands back in that type of role for 2024 after playing out 2023 on a one-year, $3.5 million contract. The defenses he played for the past two years both ranked near the bottom of the league in numerous statistical categories, with Barton landing 59th and 75th in PFF grade among qualified linebackers.
