Buccaneers Place Franchise Tag On Shaq Barrett
5 years agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed their franchise tag on defensive end Shaq Barrett on Monday. This move was fully expected after Barrett came out of nowhere to lead the NFL with 19.5 sacks in 2019 in his first season with the Bucs. Tampa is wary, however, of giving the 27-year-old a long-term extension since he never had more than 5.5 sacks in his four seasons with Denver prior to 2019. Barrett was firmly entrenched in IDP lineups last year, obviously, but fantasy owners shouldn't look to overpay for his services going into his second year in Tampa.
