EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer chose to move up his media availability a day to address an apparent report involving linebacker Anthony Barr and a trade.
"I was made aware of an erroneous report about Anthony Barr," Zimmer said Friday. "Anthony is my guy. No. 1, we are unequivocally not trying to trade Anthony. He was my first draft pick we have ever had with me. He's helped this defense go from 32nd or 31st or whatever it is to being pretty good, and so there's no, none whatsoever, truth to that rumor.
