Could the decreased salary cap this year result in the Minnesota Vikings parting ways with linebacker Anthony Barr?

It’s been a while since Anthony Barr last appeared on the field for the Minnesota Vikings. With the 2021 salary cap expected to decrease by a significant amount, the possibility of the Vikings releasing Barr to create cap space is something that can’t be ignored.

The Minnesota linebacker’s current contract doesn’t expire until 2024 and it comes with a cap hit of at least $15 million during each of the final three years.
