The Gnat Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I wasn't expecting that to happen. I'm assuming that's most of the money we saved with Cousins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 To add to this: Which I think would make a lot of sense, with our cap space, we need more picks for long term success of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) holy cow. Total shocker. Edited March 16, 2020 by JDBrocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Tag and trade would be great, or just buying time to line up an extension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I felt this was incoming. You don't get top talent walk for nothing. Edited March 16, 2020 by CriminalMind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm of the thinking he would've netted a 2021 3rd comp pick. An offer of a 2020 3rd would allow a conversation to unfold IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Like I said in NFL General, I'm guessing the conversation went as follows: Spielman: "Zim, I've decided to extend Kirk to secure the QB position and free up some cap space." Zimmer: "If you put that much money into the offensive side of the ball, I want to keep Anthony Harris for my defense." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Nice move! Much cheaper than tagging Waynes I would assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two sources I saw had a tag value of ~$16.4M for CBs and ~$12.6M for Safeties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talent and money POV Agreed, if they wanted Waynes it would be on a long-term deal. 1 year of Waynes at 16million (franchise number for CB posted above) is an overpay, while Harris at 11m is in-line with what I think he would get on the open market (per year).

vikesfan89 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I wouldn't be against drafting a mid round safety to develop behind for for a year. It's nice clearing up 1 immediate need though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric dunn Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I like tagging Harris. Because IF we can trade him now, at least we get the pick now to help the 2020 roster. And of course if we keep him, we have a high end starter next to Harry. But per Doogie on twitter, the Vikings plan right now is to keep Harris.

SemperFeist Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I would expect a contract fairly soon with Harris, if he’s not being traded. The Vikings, I believe, have only used the franchise tag twice, with Greenway and Kleinsasser, and neither player actually played on the tag.
