Cardinals announce the signing of Barrs:
Barrs does have NFL experience, signing with the Seattle Seahawks after going undrafted in 2023. While not finding a home with Arizona’s NFC West rival, Barrs had the intangibles to make an impact with this talented front defensive front. At 6’3 and 300+ pounds, Barrs has stellar size that’ll join edge Josh Sweat and Calais Campbell.

Training camp begins Tuesday for the franchise, where Barrs and his fellow defensive lineman will be able to put the work to earn a roster spot on the 53-man roster next year. Barrs hasn’t appeared in an NFL game in his football career, but gets an opportunity in the Valley.
