Barrington (undisclosed) was released by the Bills with an injury settlement Monday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barrington, who signed with the team just prior to camp, was never a strong candidate to land on the final roster. He was ultimately waived/injured by the team, and subsequently reverted to the injured reserve. He now avoids spending the entire 2017 season on the IR, and will be free to look for a new opportunity once he regains his health.

Barrington signed with the Bills on Tuesday, Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barrington spent last season with the Saints, appearing in five games and recording two combined tackles in limited action. The 2014 seventh-round pick will look to secure a spot on the final roster out of training camp.

Barrington signed a contract with the Saints on Wednesday, Herbie Teope of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
A seventh-round pick by the Packers in the 2013 NFL Draft, Barrington spent his first three seasons in Green Bay, before signing with the Chiefs at the start of the 2016 campaign. However, he only took the field for two games with the Chiefs before being waived, as the team had more pressing needs and Barrington was unable to impress in limited action. That said, the Saints needed some additional help at middle linebacker with James Laurinaitis (quad) heading to IR, so look for Barrington to offer some much needed depth.

Barrington was released by the Chiefs on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barrington was brought in by the Chiefs just before the regular season began but was released on Tuesday in order to make room for newly-signed Bishop Sankey on the roster. The 26-year-old failed to record a statistic in two games with the Chiefs and will now look to land on a team in need of linebacker depth.

Barrington, who had been dealing with a hamstring injury, was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Barrington had originally gone down in Week 1 and has not played in either of the last two weeks. Now, with a full practice early in the week, it looks like Barrington should be a full-go for Week 4.

Barrington (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, BJ Kissel of Chiefs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barrington went down during the Chiefs' Week 1 win over the Chargers with a hamstring injury, and it'll keep him sidelined for at least Sunday's contest. D.J. Alexander figures to be in line for additional reps at inside linebacker with Barrington out.

Barrington will not return to Sunday's game against the Chargers after injuring his hamstring, Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Barrington's injury is a bit unclear at this point, but it's enough to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the Chiefs' Week 1 contest. An update regarding his future status should become available upon further evaluation.

Barrington was claimed off waivers by the Chiefs on Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
EDGE Analysis
The early portion of Barrington's career has been plagued by injuries, and it appears that his inability to stay on the field ultimately led to his breakup with Green Bay. With Josh Mauga on IR, Barrington will have the opportunity to see valuable time at inside linebacker in 2016.
