2026 Outlook
Finished 2025 strong with 31 rec / 283 yards / 2 TDs over final 8 games, including Super Bowl-winning TD catch. Benefits significantly from Brian Fleury hire — Fleury coached George Kittle and Jake Tonges in SF, giving him elite TE development credentials. Barner's blocking prowess (loves to run-block) fits Fleury's system perfectly. Has athleticism and mentality to develop into top-tier TE under Fleury's tutelage (per [[3 Players That Benefit the Most With Brian Fluery as Seahawks OC]]).
