Saxum Posted July 20 Posted July 20 He went back to play for Bucs and then sign $9 Million free agent contract with Phish so it is still odd he retired now. His wife had birth of daughter Allanah in February so it is not something which immediately came to mind after birth of latest child. He was released in May from Bucs and he may just be not feeling drive after bring in practices and dealing with Phish staff. 2 Quote
HOUSE Posted July 20 Posted July 20 (edited) This is horrible news for our whining Dolphin fans They have NO QB, now this.... Edited July 21 by HOUSE 2 Quote

Yeah, unless Barrett has said it was about the death of his daughter that's a lot of speculation by @Roundybout regarding a very sensitive topic. 1 Quote
H2o Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Pretty sure the Dolphins were banking on him being a heavy contributor on that defensive front with the ongoing rehabs of Phillips and Chubb. I wish Barrett the best in his retirement. Quote
stuvian Posted July 21 Posted July 21 in all seriousness, he and his wife lost a child to drowning. That changes your perspective on what's important. I wish peace to his family. 5 1 4 Quote
Don Otreply Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Good for him and his family, 🙏 obviously not so good for the fish, and again, obviously good for us and all their opponents, such is life in the NFL…, Quote
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted July 21 Posted July 21 I’d have preferred he waited until halftime of game two of the season … 1 Quote
mikemac2001 Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Curious about the cap Would dolphins get the 9 mill back because he didn’t play week 1 ?? I would assume this but the retiring thing is always weird Quote

If he said his retirement is because he wants to spend time with his family, I imagine that is as close as he’ll get to saying that. I wouldn’t be able to talk about it without losing it. 2 1 Quote

Saxum Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Shaquil Barrett signed a 1 year , $7,000,000 contract with the Miami Dolphins, including $5,540,000 signing bonus, $6,750,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $7,000,000. I could see him not returning it immediately and then after Phish exhausted cap UN-retiring. It is only a few weeks until season starts. 1 1 Quote

I wouldn’t be able to talk about it without losing it. Perhaps but it's a also THE boilerplate retirement statement and the timing aligns with a standard "didn't feel like going to camp and it was that time" retirement . Barrett was still a legitimately good pass rusher but he's not the finisher he used to be. I'd say there is a good chance he will return at some point. We've seen guys walk away from money like that and return months later for less when they realize they miss the game and think they can still play. In any event, this has to be seen as good news for the Bills with Chubb and Phillips seen as likely not available for that Thursday night game against Buffalo and now Barrett probably not playing as well. 1 Quote

I don't know when he'll (be forced to) return the money but I'd bet he's retiring for good. And the Dols will definitely go after the signing bonus. Quote
