Unexpected Farewell: Former Vikings Defender Drops Shocking Retirement Bombshell
Barr returned to the Vikings in 2023, playing in four games before failing to make a single appearance last season.
He struggled with injuries, which might have something to do with his decision.
In 116 NFL games, he logged 554 combined tackles, eight forced fumbles and five interceptions.
Despite his talent and impact, the Vikings often drew criticism for drafting him over Aaron Donald, who was taken at No. 13 overall by the Los Angeles Rams.
There’s no such thing as predicting the future, and not even the most optimistic scout thought Donald would go on to become the best defensive player of his generation, so perhaps the Vikings and Barr deserve some slack.
