Barr taking a different approach in negotiating his contract with the Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings are a team that has a blue collar reputation.

For a team filled with undrafted players (Adam Thielen, Andrew Sendejo) and late-round draft picks that have become stars (Stefon Diggs, Danielle Hunter), they have created an underdog mentality that not only impacts the team on the field, but off of it as well when it comes to contract extensions.

When a player is due for an extension, general manager Rick Spielman gets the job done with little, if any, noise. The most recent examples have happened this offseason when deals for Eric Kendricks and Hunter were done seemingly with a single push notification.
