2025 offseason roster profile: T Jackson Barton
The Arizona Cardinals are in offseason mode and we are still weeks away from free agency and months from the NFL draft. Over the next little while, we will take a look at each player on the roster or signed to a reserve deal and break down where they stand with the team. We will look at their 2024 season, their contract status and what their status is for the coming offseason and 2025 season. Next up is tackle Jackson Barton. 2024 Jackson Barton stats, season Barton's season was marked by starting and getting hurt. He began the season on the practice squad, was elevated to the roster in Week 2 to be the backup tackle when Kelvin Beachum moved into the starting lineup. When Beachum injured his hamstring, Barton made his first NFL start in Week 3 but suffered a toe injury late in the game, landing him on the practice squad injured reserve for nine games before being reinstated to the practice squad. He was elevated to the roster in Week 16 and, after both Paris Johnson and Jonah Williams got hurt, was signed to the active roster in Week 17, starting at right tackle, only to get hurt in practice in the final week and land on injured reserve for the final game of the season. 2025 contract status Barton will be an unrestricted free agent next month when the new league year begins. Outlook for 2025 Barton showed he is capable of playing at an NFL level. He played well in his two starts but got hurt both times. While he is going to be a free agent, it seems likely that he will re-sign with the team on a one-year deal to compete once again for a roster spot. With Beachum set to be a free agent as well, if he is not re-signed, the Cardinals have the backup swing tackle role open for competition. It should be no surprise to see him come back on a one-year, league-minimum deal, assuming his ankle injury is healed.
