The NFL transaction report on Thursday showed Barton visited the Cardinals. Per Fowler, he was taking his physical.
Barton was drafted in the seventh round in 2019 by the Indianapolis Colts. Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon and offensive line coach Klayton Adams were both on that staff when Barton was drafted.
