Anthony Harris Fantasy

The Philadelphia Eagles re-signed strong safety Anthony Harris to a one-year deal on Friday, according to a source. ESPN reported that he will receive $2.5 million this year. Harris is the former Minnesota Vikings franchise player that spent the first six seasons of his NFL career in Minnesota. The 30-year-old had 72 tackles (36 solo), one interception and three passes defensed in 14 starts in his first year with Philadelphia in 2021. With Harris returning for another year in Philadelphia, it's unlikely that free safety Rodney McLeod will be back. Harris had a career-high 104 tackles (58 solo) in his final season with the Vikings and a career-high six interceptions (one for a touchdown) in 2019.

Minnesota Vikings free-agent safety Anthony Harris signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Harris played under the $11.441 million franchise tag last year, but he was unable to reach a long-term extension with the team and became a free agent. He led all NFL safeties with six interceptions in 2019, but he failed to pick a single pass last season, although the 29-year-old did have a career-high 104 tackles while playing 94.6 percent of the defensive snaps. Harris went undrafted in 2015 out of the University of Virginia, and he first made his mark on special teams in Minnesota. He became a full-time starter opposite safety Harrison Smith in 2018.

Minnesota Vikings safety Anthony Harris wasn't expected to reach a deal before the franchise-tag deadline on Wednesday, so he becomes another example of a player set to finish out the 2020 season on the franchise tag. NFL teams were more reluctant this year to hand out long-term extensions to franchise-tagged players with the 2021 salary cap in flux due to the coronavirus pandemic. Harris will play for $11.4 million this year, and he and the Vikings still have a good chance at working something out long-term next offseason. The 28-year-old had a career year last season, compiling 35 solo tackles while tying for the NFL lead with six interceptions. Before 2019, though, he had just three interceptions in four seasons, making him unattractive in IDP formats.
