Free agent linebacker Shaquil Barrett has agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins on a one-year deal worth up to $9 million, agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

Barrett, who had a $15.04 million option bonus due in March, had been released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He said he knew there was a strong possibility that he could be cut because of his hefty cap charge.

Barrett, 31, was a two-time Pro Bowl selection during his five seasons with the Bucs and a key contributor on Tampa Bay's championship-winning defense in 2020, recording three sacks against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game and another sack against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.
