He spent eight years in Minnesota, before playing for the Cowboys in 2022. He returned to the Vikings in 2023. Barr didn't play in 2024.

Barr, 33, finishes with 116 regular-season appearances, and 108 starts.

He made it to the Pro Bowl in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. He was a member of the Vikings team that lost to the Eagles in the 2017 NFC Championship.
