Details of Barr’s new contract showcases the Vikings’ cap wizardry

After the Minnesota Vikings gave extensions to Danielle Hunter, Eric Kendricks, and Stefon Diggs last year, many figured that Anthony Barr was the next in line to get his contract extended by the team. But that never happened and Barr played the entire 2018 season on the last year of his rookie deal.

Due to the Vikings and the linebacker never working out an extension during the last offseason, some figured this was a sign of the two parties splitting apart. However, Barr has opted to re-sign with Minnesota and he will now be under contract with the team through 2023.
