Vikings' Legend Harrison Smith Returning to Minnesota on a One-Year Deal, per Report
NFL Network reported the six-time Pro Bowler’s deal includes up to $16.25 million in incentives as Minnesota adds veteran help in the secondary.
- On Saturday, the Minnesota Vikings announced that six-time Pro Bowl safety Harrison Smith agreed to return for his 15th season, signing a one-year deal worth $12.25M with a maximum value of $16.25M.
- Throughout the offseason, Vikings coaches and players granted Smith space to decide his future after he contemplated retirement, keeping the long-time Minnesota veteran as an organizational priority.
- Smith remains a vital piece of defensive coordinator Brian Flores' unit, boasting 39 career interceptions and 21.5 sacks while recording 54 tackles and two interceptions in 15 games last season.
- It is unlikely Smith will play in the Vikings' opening game against the Green Bay Packers on September 13, as the team navigates defensive injuries from recent training camp losses.
- With 1,180 career tackles, Smith eyes the franchise interception record held by Paul Krause, providing stability for a team aiming to bounce back from a 9-8 finish in the NFC North.
