Who will be cut, restructures, or traded to make this work.
Here are the reported details.

"The #Vikings are signing LB Anthony Barr to a 5-year deal worth $67.5M, source said. With incentives it can be worth $77.5M. He gets $33M in guarantees. And back home."
Honestly I'm not sure he is worth that and I didn't think they would go that high BUT some guys have been getting paid and you wonder if any FA olineman that's actually kinda good is gonna be able to be signed at all. I may rather have Barr at that number than pay some sorta decent olineman nearly 10 million. If all we are looking for is an olineman that is an upgrade from Remmers or whatever may as well not overpay. Just one way to look at it I'm not sure I would have signed Barr at this number. Supppsedly they have sent Griffin a restructure proposal. It will be interesting to see how that goes. We don't need to draft a LB now.
