Shaq Barrett Signs with Tampa – Instant Reaction
Analysis: Barrett returns to spearhead the Buccaneers' pass rush. He returns on a four-year deal with $36 million in fully guaranteed money. He was a driving force behind a defense ranked third in pressure rate (27.5%) and quarterback knockdowns (68). Barrett himself led all linebackers and edge defenders in hurries (60) and pressures (76). Tampa Bay’s ability to put the squeeze on opposing quarterbacks will be stout again in 2021.
