News broke regarding the Minnesota Vikings on free-agency-week eve that long-time linebacker Anthony Barr would likely be restructuring his large contract, freeing up cap space for the team. The move was widely expected by Vikings faithful, and it finally materialized as the weekend came to a close.
The kicker: Barr will allegedly become a free agent at this time next year. And that means 2021 could be his swan song with the Vikings after [what would be] eight seasons with head coach Mike Zimmer.
Barr’s continuance with the franchise beyond 2021 is closely linked with Zimmer’s future.
