Barr trade in the works?
https://purpleptsd.com/barr-whispers-trade-begin/
A new wrinkle was added on Thursday, though. Via Twitter, a realistic Anthony Barr trade was mentioned by a Minneapolis sports personality – one not known for outrageous pot-stirring...
The source is Darren Wolfson from kstp.com. He isn’t a Vikings conspiracy theorist. He does not outwardly “favor Anthony Barr over Eric Wilson.” He avoids ascribing to a one-sided Vikings hype agenda.
By implication, he is hearing that Barr could conceivably be traded. General Manager Rick Spielman confirmed Vikings trade talks were underway (Barr or no Barr), and Wolfson believes this could affect Barr. Pretty elementary stuff.

I mean, if so...I'd imagine that puts Micah Parsons in play for us at #14. Many people think Parsons is the best defensive player in this draft.
Just another need to add to the heap.
The notion that Wilson is downgrade from Barr, the stats dont support it.
Wilson had 122 tackles last year 62/60 in 15 games started. Barr has never topped 80 in a season.
eight tackles for a loss, Barr has only topped that 1 year and that was 9
Wilson had 3 sacks and 9 QB hits, Barr hasnt done that since his 2nd year in the league and his best since 2018 at 3 sacks and 4 QB hits
Wilson 3 picks last year, Barr 2 for his career
Wilson 8 passes defended, Barr 8 for his career
I am not saying that Wilson is the better player, but I dont see the huge loss of performance that some want to make it out to be if they could move Barr and resign Wilson. If anything Wilson should be able to improve on these numbers as he would get to play behind a real NT like Barr had for so many years in LJ, and he would be getting his 2nd full season as a full time starter.

Baron Browning is not too shabby.

Neither is Charles Snowden, probably a couple rounds later. And Eric Snowden could tell us Spielman's secret plans..!
