2024 Panthers draft pick signs with Ravens on Wednesday
A former Panthers draft pick has officially signed with the Ravens.
On Wednesday, it was announced that former Carolina Panthers draft choice Michael Barrett has signed with the Baltimore Ravens. The 26-year-old linebacker was selected in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Prior to joining the pros, Barrett played six seasons at the University of Michigan, where he recorded 208 tackles, 8.5 sacks, two interceptions, four forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries in 62 games.
He was twice named a third-team All-Big Ten member and led Michigan to a national championship in 2023. Following his draft selection, Barrett was traded by Carolina to the Seattle Seahawks for cornerback Mike Jackson, who has since become a key defensive player for the Panthers, starting in all 35 of their games, including the postseason, since the trade.
Barrett subsequently joined the Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders, United Football League's Birmingham Stallions, and St. Louis Battlehawks before signing with the Ravens. He has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game.
