Signs franchise tag Barrett signed his franchise tender Wednesday after he was unable to reach agreement on a long-term contract with the Bucs, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The Wednesday deadline came and went without Barrett signing a multi-year deal. He'll now play out 2020 under the franchise tag, hoping to build on a 2019 breakout that saw him lead the NFL with 19.5 sacks. The 27-year-old has filed a grievance to be classified as a defensive end rather than an outside linebacker, with the distinction amounting to the difference between a $15.88 million salary and a $17.79 million tag. Barrett isn't likely to win the grievance, but it is possible player and team could settle on a number somewhere in the middle.

Signing franchise tag Barrett is set to sign his franchise tender with the Buccaneers, Jelani Scott of NFL.com reports.
Impact Scott was relaying reporting from NFL Network colleague Ian Rapoport, who confirmed Friday that Barrett will ink the contract that guarantees him a minimum of $15.8 million for 2020. However Rapoport added that Barrett will also be filing a grievance via agent Drew Rosenhaus to be officially classified as a defensive end, a strategy that, if successful, could net him an additional $2 million in salary for the coming season. The veteran pass rusher may ultimately have a valid argument, considering he came off the edge frequently in his 2019 debut campaign in Tampa and racked up a career-best and NFL-high 19.5 sacks on his way to garnering second-team All-Pro honors.

Not expected to hold out Barrett intends on signing the franchise tag if he and the Buccaneers are unable to work out a long-term deal, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Barrett remains hopeful both parties can reach an agreement on a new contract but now is willing to accept the franchise tag if it comes down to it. Previously, it was reported that he was uncertain about signing it. It sounds look he's come to terms with how negotiations are difficult given the NFL's uncertain financial future in the current sports landscape. The 27-year-old recorded 55 tackles (42 solo), one interception and a career-high 19.5 sacks in his first season with Tampa Bay last year.
