The Vikings ties to UCLA have run deep in recent years with their drafting of linebackers Eric Kendricks and Anthony Barr, and also in their front office with former UCLA defensive back George Paton working as their assistant general manager.
And now that the Vikings have signed Kendricks to a five-year, $50 million contract with $25 million guaranteed, the word is that Barr, Kendricks’ former UCLA teammate, might be their next target to sign before he hits unrestricted free agency next season.
Barr is currently due $12.3 million this season, and that’s a good reason why the Vikings might look to get him extended.
