Six-Time Pro Bowl S Harrison Smith Returns to Vikings
Ian Rapoport reported Smith is returning on a 1-year, $12.25 million deal, but he has missed training camp and may need time to get game-ready.
- On Saturday, safety Harrison Smith agreed to return to the Minnesota Vikings for a 15th season, signing a 1-year contract worth $12.25M with a maximum value of $16.25M including playoff incentives.
- Roster depth prompted the signing after injuries sidelined key defenders; Miami safety Jakobe Thomas missed summer sessions with a back injury, Theo Jackson has a leg injury, and linebacker Jamal Adams is out for the season with a torn quadriceps.
- Smith enters his 15th season as one of the NFL's most decorated defenders, having accumulated 1,180 tackles, 39 interceptions, and 21.5 sacks over 207 career games.
- Despite the signing, Smith is unlikely to play in the Week 1 opener against the Green Bay Packers on September 13, having missed all training camp sessions this summer.
- As one of only six defensive backs in NFL history with at least 35 interceptions and 20 sacks, Smith remains elite company alongside Pro Football Hall of Fame members.
