Barrett signed with the Miami Dolphins in 2024 after his time with Tampa Bay ended. If he is reinstated, he will remain a member of the Dolphins until they take action on his contract. The Dolphins struggled with pass rushers staying healthy in 2024, so his return could be welcomed.
On the other hand, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could also use his pass-rushing skills in their linebacker group. His situation is one to keep an eye on for the team and the NFL, as not many players have his skill set and are not yet retired at age 32.
