He played four seasons with the Denver Broncos and five with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Two-time Super Bowl champion outside linebacker Shaquil Barrett announced on Instagram on Saturday that he is retiring from the NFL after nine seasons."It's time for me to hang it up," Barrett wrote. "It's been a great ride and I appreciate everything that came with it over the years. I'm ready to shift my full focus to my wife and kids and helping them realize their dreams and catch em.
Barrett completed his career-best 19.5 sacks in 2019 after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked him up. He also had career-bests of 58 tackles and six forced fumbles. These stats earned him his first of two Pro Bowl bids. He played under another legendary quarterback in Tom Brady for a few seasons in Tampa Bay, including for the Super Bowl LV winning team.
Barrett was dropped by the Buccaneers back in March, and the Miami Dolphins signed him a few days later. Barrett never played in a game for the Dolphins as he now will retire.Madison Williams is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where she specializes in tennis but covers a wide range of sports from a national perspective.
