Buccaneers are giving Shaq Barrett a four-year deal worth up $72 million that includes $36 million fully guaranteed, his agent @DrewJRosenhaus told ESPN

The Bucs have been making moves prior to the start of free agency in order to retain most of their key players. Chris Godwin received the franchise tag last week. Lavonte David agreed to contract extension.

Tom Brady agreed on an extension through the 2022 season that saved the team $19 million against the cap in 2021, per Schefter.
