For Shaquil Barrett, the Broncos’ decision to let the outside linebacker walk in free agency prior to last season led to a career year in Tampa Bay.
Barrett, a Colorado State product, led the league in 2019 with 19.5 sacks along with six forced fumbles (2nd in NFL) and 23 tackles for loss (tied for 2nd) as he earned his first Pro Bowl nod and a Buccaneers’ franchise tag this year that guarantees him $15.88 million this season.
So, yes, Barrett will take the field against the Broncos on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High with a smile on his face.
