Agreed. If the Vikings were going to bring Barr back, they would've signed him months ago. 

If they REALLY wanted to sign Barr, they would have been proactive like they were with Hunter.

i was thinking the same thing about Waynes recently... if they dont approach him this offseason I have to think that means they are willing to move on without him as well.

Barr’s value on the open market is difficult to project because of his position. He will be 27 next season, young enough to try whatever a different coaching staff wants. 
He was a 3-4 outside linebacker at UCLA, where he had 23½ sacks in two seasons, before converting to a stack linebacker in the Vikings’ 4-3 front.

Zimmer had big plans for the versatile player... but- from what I saw- he basically played him like a normal 4-3 LB.  Maybe Barr will go to a 3-4 team (or the Patriots) and become a superstar.  But, to me, he isn't anything special HERE (which is more about the scheme and what's asked of him than a reflection of his physical abilities).

Agreed. If the Vikings were going to bring Barr back, they would've signed him months ago. 

If they REALLY wanted to sign Barr, they would have been proactive like they were with Hunter.

I think if Hunter was asking for $20M a year, he'd be in the same boat as Barr.  You can only be proactive when both sides agree to the figures.

There is a lot of truth in that. It ultimately comes down to how each side values each other and themselves.
