Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker and single-season sack record holder Shaq Barrett has announced his retirement from the NFL.
Via Barrett’s social media,
“It’s time for me to hang it up. 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 there dreams and catch em. Anyone who caught their dreams before know the work, time and consistency required to reach them. I’m ready to start building them skills up in my kids which will take 100% commitment. Ik to some it’ll be a surprise but I’ve been thinking about this for a while and the decision has never been more clear then it is now.”
Barret was an undrafted free agent by the Denver Broncos in 2014. After four seasons in Denver he signed with the Bucs where he spent five seasons.
