Buccaneers: Shaq Barrett should be a top free-agent priority

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers can have conversations about whether or not to re-sign several unrestricted free agents in 2020, but Shaq Barrett is out of the question, and the front-office has made that pretty clear.

Barrett made himself some money in 2019, totaling 58 tackles and a franchise-record 19.5 sacks. Barrett was absolutely unstoppable for most of the year and finished off his season with an impressive three sacks against the Atlanta Falcons.

In addition to those 19.5 sacks, Barrett had 37 QB hits and graded out as one of the top edge-rushers in the country, according to Pro Football Focus.
