The Tampa Bay Buccaneers must have been paying attention when Shaquil Barrett said he was thinking about coming out of retirement and specifically named the team he wanted to do it with — them.
Pewter Report’s Scott Reynolds broke the news the Buccaneers and Barrett were headed toward a reunion with an anticipated signing on December 28 after Barrett cleared waivers following his release from the Miami Dolphins and following his retirement from professional football in July.
From Pewter Report’s official X account: “Shaq Barrett Is Back With The Bucs Pewter Report is reporting that the Bucs will be re-signing OLB Shaq Barrett on Saturday morning to help with the team’s pass rush as Tampa Bay makes a playoff push, writes Scott Reynolds.”
The Buccaneers are currently 8-7 with 2 games left and just outside of the NFC Playoff picture — they would almost certainly need wins in their final 2 regular season games against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17 and New Orleans Saints in Week 18 to grab one of the NFC’s 7 postseason spots.
