Buccaneers' Shaquil Barrett: Late-season return from retirement
Shaquil Barrett, who retired from the Dolphins before training camp began and then resumed his career in December with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, finished the 2024 regular season with one tackle in one game.Barrett returned to Tampa Bay after the Dolphins waived him from the reserve/retired list and logged 12 snaps in Week 18 against the Saints. Barrett also played five snaps in the wild-card loss to the Commanders and logged a solo tackle in that contest, and he's slated to return to the open market again when the new league year begins March 12. Whether Barrett opts to continue his career remains to be seen, but if he confirms he remains interested in playing, the Buccaneers and multiple other teams will likely be very interested in exploring a deal.

Shaquil Barrett: Let go by Miami
The Dolphins waived Shaquil Barrett from the reserve/retired list Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Barrett announced his retirement from the NFL in late July despite signing a one-year, $7 million contract with the Dolphins in March. However, the veteran edge rusher reversed course and applied for reinstatement from retirement in late November, but Miami opted not to activate Barrett from the reserve/retired list before the deadline. Assuming he clears waivers Friday, Barrett will have the ability to sign with another team and be eligible to play in Week 18 and the postseason (if he signs with a team that has clinched a playoff spot). Barrett played in 16 regular-season games for the Buccaneers in 2023 and finished with 52 tackles (33 solo), including 4.5 sacks, two pass defenses (including a pick-six) and three forced fumbles. He would be a valuable addition to a playoff contender that is in need of a veteran edge rusher.

Dolphins' Shaquil Barrett: Trying to come out of retirement
Shaquil Barrett applied to be reinstated from retirement Tuesday to play immediately, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.As it's the Miami Dolphins who currently hold Barrett's contractual rights, they're the ones who would need to activate him before he could actually suit back up. It's not clear when that might happen, but at this point it seems very unlikely it would be before Thursday's game at Green Bay.

Shaquil Barrett: Set to retire
Shaquil Barrett has informed Miami that he intends to retire, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Barrett entered the NFL with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2014 and played 131 regular-season games over the course of a nine-year career that included four campaigns with Denver and five with Tampa Bay. He joined the Dolphins on a one-year contract this March but won't end up playing for the organization. Barrett finishes his career as a two-time Pro Bowler and a two-time NFL champion, having accumulated 400 career regular-season tackles, including 59.0 sacks, along with three interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown. His retirement will reduce the Dolphins' depth on the edge, especially with both Bradley Chubb (knee) and Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) opening training camp on the reserve/PUP list.
