Seattle Seahawks Sign Fourth-Round Pick TE A.J. Barner
The Seattle Seahawks announced they have signed fourth-round pick A.J. Barner to a four-year rookie contract. He became the fifth player in the Seahawks draft class to sign his rookie contract, with Nehemiah Pritchett, Sataoa Laumea and D.J. James having signed earlier on Monday.
John Schneider hasn’t wasted time in trying to get his draft class signed. The only players that haven’t signed contracts yet are guard Christian Haynes, linebacker Tyrice Knight and tackle Michael Jerrell.
Barner comes from Michigan where he was their TE2 behind Colston Loveland, who is already getting projected to be a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Barner has the frame to be successful at the next level while also having the ability to develop into a secondary receiving option.
Head coach Mike Macdonald had some good things to say about Barner.
“His run after the catch is good. “I think he’s an underrated athlete. I think he’s got a little bit more weight to put on, but the blocking tight end is a really important position. It starts in the C-gap in the run game and who’s going to defend it and who’s going to block it, so you have to be able to answer those questions. Those skill sets don’t just grow on trees. It’s tough to do. So we expect him to be able to do that. It’s a coveted skill set.”
– Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald
Barner won’t be asked to do much right away, but he will be a blocking tight end opposite of Noah Fant, which will help him thrive right away. Long-term, Barner could be a valuable weapon in both the running and passing games.

Seattle named one of the most stressed, burned-out cities in the U.S. for work – MyNorthwest.com
Seattle is among the most stressed-out, burned-out, anxious cities when it comes to its employment, according to a new study.
According to a new study from Compare the Market, Seattle ranked No. 2 in the U.S. for work stress and burnout. Only Atlanta ranked higher.
“Seattle comes in at No. 2 for the USA, but despite having a much lower score than Atlanta, its higher population of 780,995 and 2,498 searches per 100,000 people around anxiety-related searches still make it a very anxious city, with a score of 76.06,” the study wrote.
In the past year, workers in Seattle searched for “stress relief” more than 4,990 times, according to the study.
In the U.S., San Francisco, Denver, Boston, Las Vegas, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Kansas City, and Portland rounded out the top 10. Three cities in Canada — Victoria, London, Ontario, and Ottawa — ranked above Seattle for most work-related stress and anxiety. San Francisco was close behind Seattle in the study’s ranking.
Researchers studied search terms related to work, such as “work burnout,” “work depression,” “work stress,” and “how to deal with work stress,” across all U.S. cities, compiling them into a point scale.
“Reducing work stress starts with creating a healthier work environment, where balance and support are prioritised,” Compare the Market General Manager Steven Spicer. “Simple steps like regular breaks, open communication, and mindfulness can go a long way in easing anxiety.”
