The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are re-signing former Pro Bowl outside linebacker Shaquil Barrett, who previously led the NFL in sacks in 2019. After being waived by the Miami Dolphins, Barrett is set to join the Bucs' 53-man roster, pending a physical. Barrett has a strong emotional connection to the team, especially following the tragic loss of his daughter in 2023. The Bucs are currently in contention for a playoff spot, but their outside linebacker position has struggled for sack production this season.

• Shaquil Barrett's return could bolster the Bucs' struggling pass rush.
• Barrett's emotional connection to the team may enhance his performance.
