Vikings' Barr on free agency: 'I could be anywhere'

Although Anthony Barr has said he wants to return to Minnesota, the Vikings linebacker is looking forward to his impending free agency and the opportunities it could present.

"It's been a whole year, two years really, coming ... my contract was up last year, had the option, and this year now it's really up so the possibilities I feel like are endless and I could be anywhere", Barr said, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin. "I want to be back, like I've said throughout the last year, but like I've been saying also I know my worth and I know what I've got to do, I've got to do it for me."

Barr was named to his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl in 2018 and is projected to be one of the best players available this spring, assuming the Vikings don't apply the franchise tag on him. If the 26-year-old receives the tag, he'll play on a one-year, $15-million contract for the 2019 campaign.

Although Barr seems excited to test free agency, he doesn't seem all too concerned about how the process will play out.

"I'm not sure there really is a plan," Barr said. "I think it kind of dictates itself. I've done what I've done and what's going to happen is kind of out of my control. Obviously, I'll have a choice, hopefully, as to where I want to go but I can't control much more than what I'm doing now."
