The Baltimore Ravens officially ended center Danny Pinter’s season on Wednesday, a truly tough break for the guy and his squad. Pinter tore his patellar tendon last week during a joint practice with the Vikings and has now been placed on injured reserve.
That Linebacker’s Emerald City Detour
Pinter had just signed with the Ravens this offseason after six seasons with the Colts, and he was battling hard for that starting center spot. Now, it’s Jovaughn Gwyn and Ethan Pocic who are left in the mix for the job in Baltimore. To fill Pinter’s newly opened roster spot, the Ravens signed linebacker Michael Barrett.
And here’s where it gets interesting for us 12s in the Emerald City! Barrett played for Ravens head coach Jesse Minter back at Michigan, which is a neat connection. But get this: Barrett was a Panthers seventh-round pick in 2024, and then he was traded to our very own Seahawks ahead of his rookie season! Yeah, he didn’t make the team here, unfortunately. He’s since spent time on practice squads in Seattle, Cleveland, and Green Bay before getting this new shot.
It’s always cool to see a player with even a little bit of Seahawks history get another opportunity in the league. We’ll be rooting for Barrett to make the most of this chance with the Ravens!
