The big story for the Minnesota Vikings’ free agent spending revolves mostly around re-signing veteran linebacker Anthony Barr — who almost left for the New York Jets — and losing some real depth pieces. After a change of heart, Barr is staying in Minnesota, but the same can’t be said for many other now-former Vikings who were cut or allowed to walk.
The rest of the NFC North knows Barr. Packers fans know him especially well, unfortunately. Their free agent additions who are new to the team are less sexy than the Barr re-signing, however.
