After 16 NFL seasons, five Pro Bowl selections, a Super Bowl title and 47 career interceptions, Ronde Barber has decided to call it a career.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback-turned-safety will retire Wednesday, according to his broadcast and marketing agent, Mark Lepselter, president of Maxx Sports and Entertainment. Lepselter added that Ronde “is at peace with his decision.” “I’ve had a better run than I ever could’ve dreamed of having,” Barber said earlier in the day.

It’s an end to what many think will wind up being a Hall of Fame career that began when he was drafted in the third round in 1997 — one round later than his twin brother Tiki, who was selected by the New York Giants. Barber is the only player in league history with 40 or more interceptions and 20 or more sacks. Barber’s 14 non-offensive touchdowns rank him fourth on the all-time list behind Deion Sanders (19), Devin Hester (18) and Rod Woodson (17).

Barber, 38, is walking away despite the Bucs’ being open to his return in 2013. The team signed safety Dashon Goldson as a free agent and acquired cornerback Darrelle Revis in a trade with the New York Jets. Barber officially made the move from corner to safety before last season and had four interceptions, including one he returned 78 yards for a touchdown in a blowout victory against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Barber’s most famous interception return for a touchdown, though, was his 92-yarder to seal the NFC Championship Game victory against the Philadelphia Eagles in January 2003. The Bucs went on to beat the Oakland Raiders 48-21 in Super Bowl XXXVII.
