Barrett's agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey told ESPN that their client applied for reinstatement, with the expressed goal being cleared for an immediate return to action.
The news comes five months after Barrett announced his retirement from the NFL. The Miami Dolphins retained his contractual rights after Barrett signed a one-year, $9 million deal in March.
Undrafted out of Colorado State in 2014, Barrett made two Pro Bowls and played in 131 games (85 starts) across nine NFL seasons with the Denver Broncos (2014-18) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2019-23).
Barrett, 31, recorded 400 tackles (73 for loss), 59 sacks, 22 forced fumbles and three interceptions over his career.
His best season came with the Buccaneers in 2019, when he led the NFL with 19.5 sacks and was named to his first Pro Bowl. His 10-sack season in 2021 earned him another Pro Bowl nod.
Barrett won two Super Bowls, one with the Broncos as a rookie in 2015, then with the Buccaneers in 2020.
