While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have lost yesterday’s Week 17 finale against the Atlanta Falcons, there was still much to celebrate — namely, the record-setting day by linebacker Shaquil Barrett.
Barrett, who came to Tampa Bay on a one-year deal in the offseason, entered the game tied with Warren Sapp for the franchise record for sacks in a single season at 16.5. Barrett blew that number away with his three-sack performance against the Falcons, finishing the year with 19.5.
The Pro Bowl linebacker is set to become a free agent, but has made it clear he wants to stay with the Buccaneers and be a part of their future. And, today he took to Instagram to show love to both Bucs fans and Warren Sapp for their support and love, further proof of the strong relationship he’s established with this city and fan base.
Take a look.
