There may now be new competition for the Dallas Cowboys other than who they face on the field for the rest of the season. Dallas is now a reported threat<\/a> to be in pursuit of the Minnesota Vikings Linebacker, Anthony Barr. With Shaquille Leonard recently signing <\/a>with the Philadelphia Eagles, the stakes are high for the Cowboys to find depth at Linebacker. They still have that glaring hole, losing Leighton Vander Esch for the season and possibly forever.<\/p>\n

Hold your breath Cowboys fans, help may be on the way. Markquese Bell<\/a> and Damone Clark are holding down the weight but it probably won\u2019t last long with the experience they have. Bell was elevated from Safety to the new position when help was needed, so this means that Dallas needs to act quickly. The depth is scarce and they are one injury away from a collision happening.<\/p>\n

Barr played 14 games, 10 of those starting with the team, and totaled 58 tackles, one sack, and a pair of fumble recoveries. His production wasn\u2019t the best, but it did its due diligence to fill in the depth last season. This year, it\u2019s now needed more than ever as the playoffs are quickly approaching.<\/p>\n

He was a free agent until the Vikings brought him back and now he\u2019s part of the roster in the last two weeks. However, he\u2019s still currently part of the Vikings practice squad. The only way they can avoid Dallas from taking him is by activating him to the 53-man roster.<\/p>\n

Barr is on the #Vikings<\/a> practice squad if the Cowboys wanted to poach him.<\/p>\n
