The Miami Dolphins plan to waive former Pro Bowl pass rusher Shaq Barrett on Thursday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

He will be eligible to play for another team this season only if he clears waivers on Friday, Schefter added.

Barrett last played in the 2023 season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He signed with the Dolphins as a free agent in March, then retired in July before applying for reinstatement in November.

Barrett’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told Schefter that the edge rusher “is in great shape and would be ready to play immediately” for another team.
