Shaq Barrett is staying in Tampa Bay.

The Buccaneers are re-signing the former Pro Bowl outside linebacker to a four-year deal worth up to $72 million, with $36 million fully guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Barrett, 28, started 15 games for the Buccaneers last season, registering eight sacks and 43 solo tackles. He added another four sacks and six tackles in four playoff games, en route to victory in Super Bowl LV.

The Buccaneers have had a busy off-season so far, signing the likes of Tom Brady and Lavonte David to one- and two-year extensions, respectively, over the weekend.
