Biggest 2019 FA decisions for all 32 teams:
#1
Because the Vikings chose not to extend Barr's contract last offseason, the former ninth overall pick could soon be headed toward free agency. Given the restrictions they face with the salary cap, the Vikings aren't likely to make a ton of moves in the offseason, and the cost to keep Barr (somewhere in the range of $11 million to $12 million) could mean Minnesota prices itself out of that sweepstakes. Placing the franchise tag on Barr is a possibility, but that, too, would be expensive. Barr's fifth season was up and down, but he shined brightest when used to rush the passer (three sacks, four QB hits, eight tackles for loss). With that in mind, Barr might want to go play for a team that would allow him to be a 3-4 outside linebacker tasked with pursuing the quarterback regularly. After all, Barr did say he feels like he's better at going forward rather than going backward. He might have a better chance of fulfilling that role on a different team. -- Courtney Cronin

Safety Adrian Amos
The Bears re-upped with starting cornerbacks Kyle Fuller and Prince Amukamaralast offseason, but they appear content to let Amos test free agency. A former fifth-round draft pick, Amos has carved out a nice career, starting 56 regular-season games since 2015. Amos had 71 tackles and a career-best two interceptions for the Bears' top-ranked defense in 2018. The Bears likely want to keep Amos, but at their price. -- Jeff Dickerson

Defensive end Romeo Okwara
This isn't a star-power move, but Okwara's contract situation makes him the most intriguing after his 7.5-sack breakout season. He's a restricted free agent, so the Lions can either tender him and hope no team goes after him or they can give him a new contract on its own. After the way general manager Bob Quinn spoke about Okwara during his season-ending news conference, he seems like a player they want to keep around. The question will be the cost. He's a tougher call than some of the bigger names heading toward free agency (Ezekiel Ansah) and some of the cap decisions they'll have to make (T.J. LangGlover Quin) because of his youth and figuring out whether it was a one-season aberration or the start of the growth of a key player. -- Michael Rothstein

Outside linebacker Clay Matthews
Look at the sack numbers -- 3.5 last season and just 16 over the past three seasons -- and you'd probably think it's a no-brainer to move on. But if Matthews agreed to move to inside linebacker, where he has been effective before, then it might be worth bringing him back. The Packers have plenty of holes to fill on defense and retaining Matthews -- at the right price, of course -- could help. -- Rob Demovsky

I'd be happy if we find a way to keep Barr. If Barr leaves our LBs are suddenly Kendricks (off a so-so year), Gedeon (Gedeon), and... Brothers? Sheesh.
I'd be ecstatic to see us keep Barr and then spend our first 3 picks on OL. That's not realistic or probably practical, but I'd still be happy to see it.
