Cardinals agree to 1-year deal with former Packers LB Krys Barnes

The Arizona Cardinals agreed to terms with 24-year-old inside linebacker Krys Barnes on a one-year contract, the team announced on Saturday.

Barnes spent the past three seasons with the Green Bay Packers after signing as an undrafted free agent out of UCLA in 2020.

He played 13 games as a rookie and 16 in 2021, but he missed seven contests last year on injured reserve with an ankle injury.

In 35 NFL games, Barnes picked up 190 combined tackles, four passes defensed, a forced fumble and three sacks, including this one where he powered through 240-pound running back Samaje Perine in 2021.
