We now hear that MIN is likely to move on from Anthony Barr and use money elsewhere or for a replacement. This is a fluid one, but MIN is shoring up its cap for 2023 while still trying to be competitive in 2022. The 2023 cap is looking pretty good for MIN

Moved to a 3-4 about 7 years too late. Have to think that knee is degenerative or chronic.

God I hope so

its unfortunate about his knee, but I think he has been playing on reputation for a while now.  He was still a good player,  but certainly not to the level that he was paid, or to the level that some wanted to believe IMO.

he still deserves a spot in the ring of honor though IMO,  just for 1 play... anybody wanna take a guess which one?

With a very deep LB draft, we can get someone who has the athleticism he used to have coming out of UCLA for a heck of lot cheaper. I have always criticized Zimmer for not using Barr effectively and taking advantage of his pass rushing skills that a 3-4 scheme would have featured. 
Regardless if we can keep Hunter or not, there is a real possibility Jermaine Johnson will be there for us at 12. I think it will be between him or Sauce as to which one the Vikings grab depending on which one is there.

I've always loved this photo. It's like Bednarik standing over Gifford.

kinda like those action movie scenes where the good guy is walking towards the camera just as shit blows up in the back ground... and he doesnt bother to look back.

Barr will go down for me as a big "what could have been." Like others have said, we switched to the 3-4 too late to take full advantage of him.  When he was on, he was on, but it seemed like we only ever saw flashes of that.  The injuries didn't help later on.  Best of luck, Barr.  My you play well, unless it is against us.

So, the Vikings offered Barr none…?  :p
