SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 1, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — Cody Barton had his best game in a Commanders uniform but Washington fell just short of upsetting the Philadelphia Eagles.
The former University of Utah and Brighton High School star made a season-high eight tackles (seven solo) in the Commanders’ 34-31 loss to the Eagles in overtime Sunday in Philadelphia.
Barton signed a one-year deal worth $3.5 million in the offseason to be Washington’s starting middle linebacker following four seasons in Seattle. He’s tied for the team lead in tackles this season with 37 (22 solo) through four games.
The third-round pick (88th overall) in the 2019 NFL Draft finished with a career-best 136 tackles (71 solo), two sacks and two interceptions for the Seahawks last season.
