Anthony Barr didn't see the Jets as the perfect match.
The Vikings' outside linebacker disputed reports that he got physically ill Monday night after agreeing to sign with the Jets. But Barr said he got “cold sweats” and didn’t want to make the mistake of “marrying the wrong woman.”
Barr ultimately backed out of his verbal agreement with the Jets and re-signed with Minnesota, where he has spent his entire five-year career.
“When I hung up the phone after saying, ‘Yeah I can do New York,’ my stomach dropped, I kind of got some cold sweats,” Barr said in an interview with the NFL Network.
