The Minnesota Vikings had to get creative to keep safety Harrison Smith on their roster next season, but the arrangement the team came to could cost them dearly in 2024. What the Vikings elected to do was a shrewd business decision wherein they made 2023 the last functional year of Smith’s contract by offsetting some of the money they were set to pay him into the next year of his deal, which is now set to void at the end of the season.
re:Harrison Smith's new contract. That means it's the Barr thing where this is the last year of his deal, his contract voids out and he then becomes a 7.8M dead cap hit in 2024. https://t.co/TSxuDIMihD
