Linebacker Shaquil Barrett, a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Denver Broncos, announced his retirement Saturday.

"I'm ready to shift my full focus to my wife and kids and helping them realize their dreams," Barrett wrote in an Instagram post. "I've been thinking about this for awhile and the decision has never been more clear then it is right now."

Barrett had signed a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins back in March after being released by the Buccaneers in a cost-cutting move.
