The Dallas Cowboys have reached a one-year deal with free agent linebacker Anthony Barr, the team said Wednesday.
Barr, who had spent his entire eight-year career with the Minnesota Vikings, reworked his contract last March to allow himself to hit free agency after the 2021 season. After missing the final 14 games of 2020 upon tearing his pectoral muscle against Indianapolis, the linebacker's salary and bonuses were cut from $12.9 million to $10 million with a fully guaranteed base salary of $9.4 million.
The 30-year-old linebacker appeared in 11 games after undergoing a procedure on his right knee that forced him to miss the first four games of the 2021 season.
