Linebacker Shaq Barrett Visiting Today

Post by Jmble » Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:05 am

Don't know much about him but I've read a little.

He's 26 years old and has played all five years for the Broncos. He's an outside backer. Not an every day starter for the Broncos but has been good when he's played. Big contributor on Special Teams.

In August, Pro Football Focus named him Number one on the NFL's Secret Defensive Super Stars after scoring an 82.7 in 2017. His Three Year Grade is 87.8 though his grade was down a little in 2018 to 75.9. For comparison, Preston Brown had a 55.3. Vinny Rey had a 49.3 and Burfict had a 47.9.

This sounds like somebody we need to be locking down before he walks out the door. If we are not going after the big names, we can't let quality players like this slip by when we are so desperate at the position.

If he doesnt have an injury carryover from last season I'm all in. Instant upgrade. With Brown coming back and a draftee at #9, our LB corp could suddenly be solid. Even without Tez.

Shaq Barrett just signed a one year five million dollar deal with the Bucs.

No reason we shouldn't have been able to do that.
