No terms announced yet but this signing may signal the end of Cole Holcomb in Washington.

Some good stats from Standig:

@BenStandig
Barton, 26, had 136 tackles last season with the Seahawks while playing in all 17 games (11 starts). Only started 4 games over first 3 seasons.

Getting some LB help now, nice!

Seems like we def came out aggressive with a plan to go after under the radar guys at areas of need. We didn’t need to be big spenders but needed to fill out the roster

Being able to pick up the CB too on waivers helps fill out that room with Danny Johnson now coming back as well

Great signing, better than Holcomb

[punch it in]

Can we sign a Kicker please.

[SFREDSKIN]

Great day of signings, nothing extravagant, just solid players. Cody Barton is an animal, let's see if Dantzler rebounds to expectations.

2019 3rd round pick, seems like he's been healthy, good signing IMO, this squad still depth AND improvement IMO, but no need to overspend here, the OL needs fixing/overhaul.

Dantzler seems like a potential sleeper solid signing, ankle injuries aren't usually of the lingering kind, so he should be back 100 %.

Hopefully not a starter. Flexible but probably not good enough to start.

Well if they are the primary starters it will still be a weakness.

For the first time in a long time, I actually feel like we can go into the draft without a glaring hole on the roster. Yes QB is an issue, but after today’s approach…we plugged the needs. We have options

Now let’s hit the draft get best player available

What???? He was great for the Chiefs last year.

It is a huge improvement at RT. He improved at RT as the year went on and had his best games in the playoffs and SB.

I agree. It may or may not be a glaring weakness at qb. Glaring weaknesses right now are mainly depth. ILB, oline still. I am not a fan of Leno. Kicker. If Howell pans out and Chase rebounds we could be pretty pretty pretty good.

I would draft a LT and replace Leno who is on the hook for $9.25mil draft an ILB, G and CB. Fans are going to love Barton, he’s a tackling machine.

This is where im at too. Those four positions still need some help.
