Starts season strong Barrett recorded four tackles (three solo), including one sack, and was credited with two quarterback hits overall in the Buccaneers' 31-29 win over the Cowboys in Week 1. Impact Barrett began paying immediate dividends on the four-year, $72 million contract he signed in the offseason, getting to Dak Prescott for the Buccaneers' only sack on the night. While the 19.5-sack tally he compiled in 2019 is unlikely to ever be within his reach again, another solid campaign akin to his 57-tackle, eight-sack effort in 2020 would be considered a strong contribution on a defense that already has a multitude of players capable of tormenting quarterbacks.
