The Denver Broncos have agreed to terms with inside linebacker Mark Barron on a one-year contract. Here’s a sampling of how Twitter reacted to the news.
Great move

Once he is up to speed on the playbook Mark Barron should be an upgrade over Josey Jewell for nickel sets.
With Davis' calf and Strnad on IR, it's a move that makes sense.

Something tells me Mark Barron will ball in Vic’s system

I can tell you first hand that the only thing he fills is your cap space.
Stood out like a sore thumb in the Steelers defence.

If you were hoping for a LB that can cover, Mark Barron ain’t it.
Common misconception because he used to play safety.

Mark Barron was not even good in coverage for a "hybrid" LB. Just a bad BAD player at this point of his career.

There are plenty words to describe Mark Barron. Intriguing is not one of them. @OwenWeissberg @Robdogg039 https://t.co/KMZsmCwpDc
