It would be awesome to have him back. A lot of people think he retired due to age or no desire to play. In reality, his young daughter recently died. He needed time to grieve.
The only other possibility is that the Dolphins grant his release so he can go back to Tampa Bay. He referenced in an interview after he retired that's the only team he would come back to play for.
Well, the word is he is willing to play for the Dolphins which would be huge. He's instantly their second best pass rusher and more well rounded than Chop. Ogbah has been OK but they need another pass rush threat.
Chubb has now been off the field for nearly a year. I would think it's going to take some time for him to get back into football shape. I fear we may not see him this season. I hope I'm wrong.
Absolutely allow him back on the team… ans it looks like Mcdaniels is very interesting in having him back
Shaq Barrett wanted to come out of retirement to play this season. The Dolphins decided they didn’t want him, and they don’t want anyone else to have the edge rusher either. Miami faced a 4 p.m. ET deadline to remove Barrett from the reserve/retired list and move him to the active roster. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins didn’t activate him and won’t release him. The Dolphins own his rights after he signed a one-year, $7 million contract before deciding to retire. The team’s decision Thursday means he will remain retired this season, unable to collect a salary or play for another team. The Dolphins need help at outside linebacker, but Barrett has not practiced since retiring in July, and his decision to come out of retirement caught the team by surprise. According to Jackson, Barrett did not personally call coach Mike McDaniel before news broke in the media that Barrett wanted to play again. Barrett, 32, has 59 career sacks in nine seasons playing for the Broncos and then Bucs. He spent five seasons in Tampa, including the 2020 championship season.
I have seen people say his wife said he did this to get to Philly and if that is true he can **** off. If he wanted to play for Miami its a bit unfortunate but probably better for future cap to not play him.
The more I’m learning about this whole Shaq Barrett situation, the more I’m disliking him. Bunk him…he can sit around and wait until June 1st
