The Pittsburgh Steelers formally signed veteran inside linebacker Mark Barron to a two-year contract worth $12 million on March 19 last year, more than a month out from the 2019 NFL Draft, during which they made a substantial trade up in the first round to select the inside linebacker Devin Bush out of Michigan.
After one year of play, during which he started nine of 15 games and logged 750 snaps, Barron was released by the Steelers on March 16. He remained unsigned until just recently when he formally agreed to a deal to join the Denver Broncos.
