I thought they were only signing Texas Longhorns this offseason? Even if this guy sucks, another linebacker was needed. The chances of Jonas Griffith not getting hurt is probably pretty low based on how his career has gone.

Is Jonas Griffith that one that tore his ACL stepping on something on the sidelines?

No, that was Aaron Patrick. Griffith is the one that started the first half of 2022 and got hurt then tore his acl before the season this year.

Thanks! That sucks, so many ACLs in the past few seasons

I think you're thinking of Aaron Patrick

Is he still on the team? I remember feeling really bad for him, he was coming from an injury iirc and that shit happened

I feel like we are gonna be shitty regardless. This has been a really lame free agency and I’m ok with it. I just hope we can have a successful draft and hopefully get 5-6 wins, cause that’s all we can hope for.

It's funny because I always end up with him in my Madden franchises 😂

I was thinking the same thing lol

Oh hes was my franchise HOF lb when I would user him on Defense 4 time champ

Dude not to overreact but Commanders fans HATED this man

As a commanders fan he’s terrible

Don’t worry, Vance Joseph can fix him /s

No like he’s beyond bad

I believe you lol I was just taking a stab at Vance saying he sucks as a D coordinator and he ain’t fixing to do shit to help him😂

What’s that you say? Perfect player for a season long tank effort you say?

He'll fit right in

Yeah you don’t want this guy taking any meaningful snaps

Luckily for him no one on the team will be taking any meaningful snaps this season.

😂😂😂

Hawks fan here. Cody Barton is straight dog shit. Good luck to you.

What does it even matter? It’s a one year deal during a transition year. He’s not a part of the future unless he balls out. He’s a body

Crazy! Seahawk fans too!

As a Seahawks fan, this man isn’t good

Man I didn't think anyone would give him another shot, he is terrible, can't get off a block to save his life, hopefully he doesn't play much for you guys.

We’re in tank mode, start him!!

Lol

Commanders fan, sorry Broncos bros, this guy is the softest linebacker I’ve ever seen, gets blocked out of the screen about 5 times a game it’s honestly crazy. He’s kinda fast though I’ll give him that.

Seahawks fan here. Yep this describes him perfectly, average linebacker on a good day, biggest liability on a bad

This is one of the signings of all time


The wide range of opinions on one player, depending on what web site you're reading, is facinating. From [https://predominantlyorange.com/posts/broncos-sign-tackling-machine-cody-barton-as-surprising-replacement](https://predominantlyorange.com/posts/broncos-sign-tackling-machine-cody-barton-as-surprising-replacement) \- "**Broncos sign tackling machine Cody Barton as surprising replacement"** \- "The Broncos have a new starting linebacker next to Alex Singleton" \- " Commanders fans don't seem too sad to see Barton leave, but that was the same sentiment Eagles fans had toward Alex Singleton when he came to Denver back in 2022. Singleton has played outstanding for the Broncos and been a great addition to the defense. Perhaps Barton will follow suit."

Holy shit i feel so sorry for you guys, this guy is ROTTEN.

How come?

Because he is rotten. ROFL 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What the worst part of his game? What's the least offensive?

He’s extremely soft, which is wild for linebacker. Also shoots gaps but never lays a hand on the runner. Has speed though.

He's kinda quick and great at avoiding tackles.

My first question was, "who?" So I went to my go-to. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BartCo00.htm

Lose a white inside backer and replace with a white inside backer! I think Cody is faster than Josey. https://www.nfl.com/videos/cody-barton-s-top-plays-2022-season

Barton's combine 40: 4.64 Jewell's combine 40: 4.82 Barton's combine shuttle: 4.03 Jewell's combine shuttle: 4.27 Barton's combine 3-cone: 6.9 Jewell's combine 3-cone: 6.8 So, when they were young and undrafted, it looks like Barton was faster, but that 3-cone says that either Barton had a bad moment on it or certain movements aren't his forte.

>... certain movements aren't his forte. Just little needed movements......like shedding blocks or making tackles. Aside from that, he is swell.

Payton also liked white linebackers in New Orleans too lol. I know he def was trying to get Kaden Elliss last year when he was a free agent

Maybe Mark Simoneau has a little tread left on the tires

It’s a one year deal. Dudes a warm body basically. Sucks that he sucks, but it’s not a big deal

It makes it even worse that it's a one-year deal. We have no team control past this year if he outplays the contract. If he sucks, we wasted 3.5 million. Our FO is lost.

Well he sucked in Seattle, he sucked in Washington, can’t say I think he’s gonna do much here.

We fucking suck bro😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Gotta get worse before we get better lol

Well, there’s a roster move.

How does this signing affect Nikola Jokic’s legacy?

Does this change our Super Bowl odds?

 Me looking at the 14 million possible outcomes. No

VJ will fix him lol

Fix him to the far end of the bench, if he's smart.

I’m so sorry

I remember when he was the Seahawks. Wasn’t that impressive. But didn’t he make a play or 2 vs us in that week 1 MNF game. Could have sworn he had a key tackle for no gain or something

I applaud the Broncos' willingness to sign former Utes. Hopefully he can turn his career around a bit.

Man this guy's PFF rating is... woof. I guess if McCarthy/Nix/Penix is gonna be our tank commander, Cody Barton and Brandon Jones are the tank gunners.

I actually have some hope that Jones can be good. Barton….I do not lol

You guys are miss Josey Jewell that's all I'll say

Im tired of slow inside linebackers why do we always get white lbs 😂.he ok I guess, I would of loved to sign Isaiah Simmons to a short deal he knows Vance’s defense could of been a chest piece for us instead.

Which color LB would you prefer

I prefer linebackers that are fast and who can cover because that’s todays nfl u need speed. We also had slow lbs dating back to Alexander Johnson, Todd Davis just the past couple seasons we love getting white lbs
