The veteran outside linebacker has re-signed with his former team.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed Shaquil Barrett, a move that bolsters their defensive lineup as they push for the playoffs. Barrett, previously released by the Bucs in February 2024 to clear cap space, had a brief stint with the Miami Dolphins before retiring.
Barrett, known for his Pro Bowl performances and leading the league in sacks during his first season with the Bucs in 2019, brings experience and skill back to the team. His 19.5 sacks in 2019 set a franchise record, and his presence on the field could be pivotal in the Buccaneers’ defensive strategy. This re-signing reflects Tampa Bay’s commitment to strengthening their pass rush during a crucial phase of the season. Fans are excited to see Barrett back in a Buccaneer uniform, hoping his return will help propel the team to postseason success.
The veteran pass rusher has played 9 seasons in the NFL between the Bucs and the Denver Broncos. He has recorded 289 solo tackles and 59 sacks. He’s accounted for 5 fumble recoveries and three interceptions as well.
Barrett was selected to play in 2 Pro Bowls and won 2 Super Bowl championships during his career.
