Barr Gone?

God I hope so

its unfortunate about his knee, but I think he has been playing on reputation for a while now.  He was still a good player,  but certainly not to the level that he was paid, or to the level that some wanted to believe IMO.

he still deserves a spot in the ring of honor though IMO,  just for 1 play... anybody wanna take a guess which one?

With a very deep LB draft, we can get someone who has the athleticism he used to have coming out of UCLA for a heck of lot cheaper. I have always criticized Zimmer for not using Barr effectively and taking advantage of his pass rushing skills that a 3-4 scheme would have featured. 
Regardless if we can keep Hunter or not, there is a real possibility Jermaine Johnson will be there for us at 12. I think it will be between him or Sauce as to which one the Vikings grab depending on which one is there. 

I've always loved this photo. It's like Bednarik standing over Gifford.

Barr will go down for me as a big "what could have been." Like others have said, we switched to the 3-4 too late to take full advantage of him.  When he was on, he was on, but it seemed like we only ever saw flashes of that.  The injuries didn't help later on.  Best of luck, Barr.  My you play well, unless it is against us. 

So, the Vikings offered Barr none…?  ;) :p

Longtime #Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr turns 30 today. He remains a free agent.

I asked Barr what it felt like to turn 30 and be unemployed with a likely degenerative or at least chronic knee issue, with no prospects on the horizon.

I also asked if he needed help selling his home and that I would help him find a buyer, same as Michael Pierce. I informed him I wouldn't take the standard 3% for selling his home. This what I also told Pierce.

So back in 2014/15 you're running 4/3 D and you select Anthony Barr over Aaron Donald. 

Right....

Yeah, but we need two. One can be easily eliminated by shifting protection. Hunter and a pick. Zadarius and a pick. Whatever, but we need two. We've got some really nice rotational pieces, but I don't see any of them as impact players.

I was just thinking the other day...outside of DH and EK there are no big knockers on D anymore. 

This team has needed a 3t since Floyd went lame.

LMAO. 

Geez, it appears no one likes Barr now.  I hope we don't resign him heads/words will spin :)
