Vikings GM Spielman says Anthony Harris is ‘one of the best safeties in the league right now.’

Vikings fans saw what safety Anthony Harris can do last season when he plays to his ability.

Harris had six interceptions, tied for the league most. But now, he will become a free agent, so the Vikings have a choice of whether to sign him or let him go. In my opinion, if they do let him go, it won’t be because of a level of play, but rather a high asking price for him in free agency that the Vikings aren’t able to match.

At least we know Minnesota general manager Rick Spielman is a fan of Harris’ play.

“Once Anthony (Harris) got that opportunity to start, and even when he started last year at times, he’s proven he’s phenomenal and one of the best safeties in the league right now,” Spielman told reporters.

Asked about whether Harris is a priority for the Vikings this offseason, Spielman didn’t give anything away.

“Everybody is a priority for us this offseason.”
