When all is said and done, the Minnesota Vikings’ Harrison Smith will likely be remembered as one of the best defensive backs in franchise history. But at age 34, he might not be long for the purple people.
You see, Smith has three years left on a four-year, $60 million contract. According to Over The Cap, his salary cap hit will be at least $19.1 million through 2025, rising to as much as $22 million. Minnesota could probably still afford Smith when he only cost roughly $7 million a year at most.
