Bleacher Report recently listed a player that each NFL team cannot afford to lose.
For the Vikings, the outlet picked a player whose long-term future with the team is still in question.
Vikings safety Anthony Harris earned the recognition as a player that Minnesota cannot do without. Here’s what Bleacher Report said about that:
“Keeping the 29-year-old safety in the fold will be important as Minnesota is in the process of revamping its secondary. Cornerbacks Mackensie Alexander, Trae Waynes and Xavier Rhodes all departed this offseason.
The Vikings cannot let Harris do the same next offseason.”
A revamped secondary might not necessarily be a bad thing. Why? Not only was their room for improvement with the veterans who left in free agency, but the Vikings have a safety like Harris, who, paired with Harrison Smith back deep, makes the new-look secondary look decent on paper. Here’s to hoping the Vikings can lock in Harris for the future.
