Shaq Barret Released by the Bucs

https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1762453990917169445

thats a pretty big cut by Tampa

Injured last year, and he wasnt the best this year overall, (AKA not worth what he was with his current contract)

31 years old, looking for one more payday

Also i realized he tore his achillies last year so uh yeah

he may be cooked, if its on a cheaper contract i dont mind adding him tbh

I do. No thanks.

Didn’t we have endless debates about this guy in 2019-2020 and about how good he was passing the rusher, but a complete disaster in run defense?

His injury was in 2022, so this would be his second year removed.

Regardless, he is only an option if he comes relatively cheap, IMO. Maybe a 1 year, 6-8mil deal or something heavily incentivized.

How many know that he was a UDFA?

He did good for himself.

Going to be 32 in November.

Didn’t have a very good 2023.

Strikes me as being a Dwight Freeney circa 2017 level acquisition.

I would be okay with the signing for one reason…

I could get a jersey with my name on it without it having to be custom… but would i actually get a 32 year old barrett jersey over a hutch or sungod… ugh that would be a dilemma

The age doesn’t bother me too much… but the torn achilles sure does.

Both Romeo and Walker post achilles weren’t even close to the same player.

His achilles, is his achilles heel.
