Source: LB Barrett, Bucs agree to 1-year deal

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to terms with linebacker Shaq Barrett on a one-year deal worth $5 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Barrett has been a high-motor rotational player at outside linebacker in the team's 3-4 defense since he first grabbed the Denver Broncos' attention as an undrafted rookie in 2014, but his playing time took a significant hit this past season with the emergence of No. 5 overall draft pick Bradley Chubb.

Barrett, 26, played in just 21 percent of the defensive snaps in 2018 as Chubb and Von Miller did the bulk of the work at outside linebacker.
