He tore his Achilles on Thursday night and is out for the season.
Tampa Bay also signed CB Ryan Smith and re-signed WR Tyler Johnson to the practice squad.
Barrett, 29, signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of Colorado State in 2014. He was waived coming out of the preseason and re-signed to Denver’s practice squad.
After bouncing back and forth between the practice squad and active roster, Barrett landed on the active roster at the end of his rookie year. Barrett signed with the Buccaneers as an unrestricted free agent in 2019 to a one-year, $4 million deal and was franchised in 2020. He re-signed to a four-year, $68 million deal last offseason.
In 2022, Barrett appeared in eight games for the Buccaneers and recorded 31 total tackles, six tackles for loss, three sacks and a forced fumble.
