Back in 2014, the Minnesota Vikings made a linebacker selection from UCLA by taking Anthony Barr. General manager Rick Spielman followed that up a year later by grabbing his former teammate, Eric Kendricks.
Now nearly a decade later, Kendricks will search for a new team.
For the Vikings, It’s the End of an Era with Eric Kendricks
It has been expected since the season ended, but it certainly feels like the end of an era for Kendricks and the Vikings. Following Barr’s footsteps, Kendricks will look for a new team after eight years in Minnesota. Although he has started to show signs of his age, there is no denying that Kendricks wasn’t among the best at his position for quite some time.
