Bucs linebacker —and the NFL’s reigning sack master— Shaquil Barrett made some big news the other day when he said he was “50/50” on signing the franchise tag.
Barrett appeared on NFL Total Access Wednesday to talk football and he was asked about his current contract situation with the Bucs.
”It’s still up in the air right now, about 50-50,” he told NFL Network reporter Colleen Wolfe. “We’ll find out a little more information on Friday.”
This goes against what he told Tampa Bay Times reporter Rick Stroud not too long ago and it’s also inconsistent with what he’s said about playing under the tag at other points during the offseason, however, I wouldn’t worry about any kind of potential obstacle, holdout, or issue preventing him from getting on the field in 2020.
