Anthony Harris Fantasy Stats

The Philadelphia Eagles signed veteran safety Anthony Harris to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to his agents. Harris didn't rack up any stats while playing only special teams for the Denver Broncos in three games this year before being waived last week. The 31-year-old was with the Eagles in 2021 and was also with them this preseason before joining Denver. In 14 starts for Philly last year, Harris recorded 72 tackles (36 solo), an interception and three passes defensed. Harris will provide the Eagles with additional secondary help with C.J. Gardner-Johnson (kidney) on Injured Reserve and Reed Blankenship (knee) getting injured in the Week 14 win over the New York Giants.

The Denver Broncos released veteran safety Anthony Harris on Tuesday, according to a source. Harris gets the axe in his first season with Denver after just three games played. The 31-year-old played only 43 total defensive snaps in his three games and failed to record any tackles, mostly playing on special teams. Harris spent the first six seasons of his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings, and he's racked up 356 tackles (221 solo), 10 interceptions (one for a touchdown), 31 passes defensed, one forced fumble and four fumble recoveries in 98 career games (61 starts). He'll look for work elsewhere to close out the 2022 season.

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.

Minnesota Vikings safety Anthony Harris signed his franchise tender on Sunday, and his agents and the Vikings will continue to work on a long-term extension in the meantime. The two sides will have until July 15 to work out a long-term extension. It was a surprise back when the Vikings put the franchise tag on Harris, and they did so with the hope that they would find a taker for the 28-year-old (29 next month) on the trade market. That obviously hasn't materialized this offseason. Harris had career highs in total tackles (60), solo tackles (35), interceptions (six) and passes defensed (11) in 14 games for the Vikings in the 2019 season.

Minnesota Vikings safety Anthony Harris is in "no rush" to sign his franchise tag because he wants to work out a long-term extension, according to sources. The Vikings and Harris are expected to negotiate before the draft, but it doesn't look likely that anything will be agreed upon anytime soon. The two sides have until July 15 to work out an extension after Minnesota slapped Harris with the franchise tag somewhat surprisingly in March. Many believe the Vikings originally intended to tag and trade Harris to a team in need of a safety, but no teams were interested in the high asking price. The 28-year-old had 60 tackles (35 solo), career-high six interceptions (one for a TD), 11 passes defensed and one fumble recovery in 14 games in 2019.

The Minnesota Vikings and safety Anthony Harris are expected to resume talks on his status and a potential long-term deal, according to a source. The two sides had talks toward the end of March, and sources say a deal is in the "realm of what's necessary to finalize." With the draft approaching, the Vikings could still look to trade Harris to a team in need of secondary help after they slapped the franchise tag on him in March. The 28-year-old had career highs in tackles (60 combined) and interceptions (six, including one for a TD) in 14 games played for Minnesota in 2019, also defending 11 passes and recovering a fumble.

The Minnesota Vikings have been actively discussing a possible long-term contract extension with safety Anthony Harris, according to sources. There has been speculation that the Vikings were looking to trade Harris after putting the franchise tag on him, but they may wind up keeping him after all. There is an increasing belief that the 28-year-old, the NFL's top safety in 2019 per Pro Football Focus, will play for the Vikings in 2020, whether it's on the franchise tag of $11.441 million or on a new long-term deal. Harris' preference is to stay in Minnesota. He wants a deal that would put him among the highest paid safeties in the league, which could be an average of around $14 million per year. The combination of Harris and Harrison Smith give Minnesota one of the best safety combinations in the game. That is, if Harris remains with the Vikes. They'll need a strong safety duo after losing four cornerbacks during free agency.

The Cleveland Browns are exploring a trade for Minnesota Vikings safety Anthony Harris, according to a source. However, another source close to the situation says it will take at least a third-round pick to land Harris and probably a second-rounder, which is more than the Browns want to give up. Cleveland would then also have to sign Harris to a big deal. Minnesota surprisingly put the franchise tag on Harris for $11.44 million in 2020 on Monday, but they did so with the idea of trading him. The 28-year-old has a good relationship with Browns defensive backs coach Jeff Howard from their time in Minnesota. He also has ties to head coach Kevin Stefanski from their five seasons together in Minnesota. Cleveland has a need for safeties after already seeing Justin Burriss and Eric Murray walk in free agency.
