The Minnesota Vikings are bringing back safety Harrison Smith for a 14th season after re-working his contract on Wednesday, The Athletic's Alec Lewis reported.
Smith's new contract is worth $10.25 million with the potential of going up to $14 million with incentives.
The six-time Pro Bowler has spent his entire NFL career with the Vikings since they drafted him in the first round in 2012. As of now, Smith currently leads the NFL in active players with 37 interceptions. If he can get three more interceptions in 2025 (he had three last season), he'll become the fourth player in league history to have 40 interceptions and 20 sacks in their career. He has 20.5 sacks.

The safety will be 36 in the 2025 season and is likely nearing the end of his NFL career.
