TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Shaq Barrett is expected to once again sign with the Bucs after he was waived by the Miami Dolphins, according to multiple reports.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL’s Ian Rapoport both reported that Barrett is expected to re-sign with the team on Saturday.
He was released from the Dolphins and cleared waivers on Friday.
After Barrett was released from the Bucs, he signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins. Shortly after, he announced his retirement.
Last month, Barrett applied to be reinstated to the league and come out of retirement. However, the Dolphins held his contractual rights, and they didn’t trade him.
Barrett spent five years with the Bucs, making the Pro Bowl, winning a Super Bowl, and breaking the franchise’s single-season sack record.
