Anthony Barr has made three straight Pro Bowls for the Vikings, and he has no desire to play for another team.

The 25-year-old linebacker said Tuesday he hopes to sign a long-term contract extension with Minnesota this offseason.

“Yeah, I love it here,” Barr told the Pioneer Press. “Absolutely. I really love my teammates. I really love this team. I love the city. I could see myself being here for the future.”

Barr will make $12.306 million in 2018, the final year on his five-year rookie deal. The Vikings are expected to attempt to lock him up to a long-term extension by the start of training camp in July.

Barr didn’t want to speculate on what sort of deal the Vikings would need to offer for him to sign. He said that will be in the hands of his agent.

“I don’t really worry about that kind of stuff,” he said. “Money comes and goes, so I’ll be happy just to be secure.” Related Articles Vikings lose Anthony Barr for game with shoulder injury in second quarter

Barr, who makes his offseason home in Los Angeles, is in the Twin Cities this week for Super Bowl events leading up to Sunday’s game between New England and Philadelphia at U.S. Bank Stadium. On Tuesday, along with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Coalition experts from the NFL and Verizon, Barr held an event for about two dozen students from Franklin Middle School.

“I’m trying to feed their intrigue on technology and science, trying to help them understand that you don’t necessarily have to be an athlete in order to be in involved in athletics or whatever path you want to go down,” Barr said. “It was a cool discussion.”

Barr is still trying to shake off the disappointment of Minnesota’s 38-7 loss at Philadelphia in the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 21. After having the top-ranked defense in the NFL during the regular season, the Vikings fell apart, allowing the Eagles to roll up 456 yards.

“It was real tough,” Barr said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t take advantage of the opportunity as a team. We played pretty poorly. I don’t think anyone necessarily had a good game, and it’s unfortunate that we had our worst game of the season on our biggest stage.

“You want to put it behind you and also want to use it as motivation. … We have a great team, and I think we’ll be back in a similar position next season.”

Barr missed a number of tackles and had one of his worst games of the season against the Eagles. He said he suffered a left hamstring injury early in the game, which is why he wasn’t on the field at the end when the game already had been decided.

“It kind of lingered on (throughout the game) and it just kind of gave out toward the end,” he said. “It could have (been a factor). I just didn’t play well. Whether I was hampered or not, it doesn’t really make a difference.”

The injury forced Barr to drop out of the Pro Bowl. He said he’s feeling better now, but missed going to Orlando, Fla., for last Sunday’s game.

“It’s always great to go down there and spend some time with the guys, my teammates, and kind of hang out with all the other players,” Barr said. “I was kind of bummed to miss that.”

What Barr won’t be sad to miss is Sunday’s Super Bowl. He said it would be too difficult going to the game, knowing the Vikings were so close to making it.

“I wouldn’t feel right about being there,” Barr said. “I don’t want to necessarily go to the Super Bowl until I play in one. Hopefully, that happens soon.”
