For a very brief period, Anthony Barr was engaged to the Jets.
The free agent linebacker agreed to terms with Gang Green when the legal tampering period opened on Monday, but by Tuesday morning, had a change of heart and decided to stick with with the Vikings.
It wasn’t about the money — the Jets reportedly offered more than five-year $67.5 million deal — so what caused him to back out of the deal?
“It was mostly when I hung up the phone after saying, ‘Yeah I can do New York,’“ Barr told NFL Network.
