Vikings’ 4-time Pro Bowl LB Anthony Barr to retire

By NFL Premium News Aug 5, 2025 | 5:50 PM

Four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Anthony Barr, who spent nine of his 10 NFL seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, is hanging up his helmet.
His foundation, Raise The Barr, announced in a Facebook post Monday that the 33-year-old veteran “will officially retire from the NFL in just a few weeks.”
The former first-round draft pick did not play last season and finishes his career with 554 tackles, 18.5 sacks, 10 fumble recoveries and five interceptions in 116 games (108 starts) with the Vikings (2014-21, 2023) and the Dallas Cowboys (2022).
Minnesota selected him ninth overall in the 2014 NFL Draft out of UCLA and he made the Pro Bowl in four straight seasons from 2015-18.
