Former Vikings LB to Sign with Saints
On Monday, former Vikings LB Anthony Barr had a workout with the New Orleans Saints. A day later, it appears that Barr is set to sign with the Saints, assuming he passes a physical.
Dianna Russini of ESPN reported that both Barr and RB Kareem Hunt would sign with New Orleans, tweeting, “The New Orleans Saints are expected to sign both Kareem Hunt and Anthony Barr, if both players pass their physicals and are in shape, per sources.”
Barr was selected with the 9th overall pick by the Vikings in the 2014 NFL Draft, and he immediately started 12 games for the team. During that rookie season, he put together 70 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 3 passes defended, and 2 forced fumbles.
