Though there has been speculation the Vikings might trade Harris after placing the franchise tag on him two weeks ago, sources said Tuesday the team has been actively discussing a possible long-term contract for the 28-year-old safety. While nothing is certain about Harris’ future, one source said there is an increased belief now that Harris, ranked the NFL’s top safety in 2019 by Pro Football Focus, will play for the Vikings in 2020, whether it is with the one-year franchise tag of $11.441 million or a long-term deal. A source said Harris’ preference is to sign a long-term deal with Minnesota. Such a deal not only could keep Harris happy and lock him up beyond 2020, it also could lower his salary-cap number for 2020, with the Vikings able to push some money into future seasons. Harris wants a contract that puts him among the highest-paid safeties in the NFL. That could be an average of about $14 million per season. The Vikings already have Pro Bowl safety Harrison Smith on the books for cap numbers of $10.75 million in 2020 and $10.25 million in 2021. While having two safeties taking up a good bit of cap room might not be ideal, a source said the Vikings are thinking more now that not having Harris could be especially detrimental to their secondary. In March, the Vikings released starting cornerback Xavier Rhodes and had four other members of the secondary leave via free agency: starting cornerback Trae Waynes, primary nickelback Mackensie Alexander, and effective reserve safeties Andrew Sendejo and Jayron Kearse. So far, the team has not added any defensive backs. There might not be any immediacy for the Vikings to make a decision on Harris. They have until the franchise tag deadline of July 15 to work out a possible long-term contract. And with offseason workouts in jeopardy of being cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic, that could place less urgency on getting something done. GRIFFEN TO SEATTLE? Could Everson Griffen be the next star Vikings defensive linemen to finish his career with Seattle? A source said Tuesday that Griffen, a free agent who announced two weeks ago he will not return to Minnesota, has interest in signing with the Seahawks and that they could be interested in him. It could depend on whether Seattle re- signs free-agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. The source said Clowney is likely the domino needed to fall before Griffen signs with any team. Hall of fame defensive end Carl Eller played for the Vikings from 1964-78 before finishing his career with Seattle in 1979. Hall of fame defensive tackle John Randle played for Minnesota from 1990-2000 before concluding his career with the Seahawks from 2001-03. TWO YEARS LATE The NFL approved a plan Tuesday to expand the playoffs from 12 to 14 teams in 2020. There will be seven teams in each conference making the postseason, with one team, rather than the previous two, getting a first-round bye. Had that format been in place in 2018, the Vikings would have made the playoffs as the No. 7 seed in the NFC rather than missing out altogether. Under such a format, the Vikings, who went 8-7-1 in 2018, would have opened the postseason at the No. 2 Los Angeles Rams, which would have been a rematch of a Week 4 game won 38-31 by the Rams at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. PUBLICATION: Star Tribune DATE: 4/1/20 Even without live sports, Jared Allen's plan is to dodge NFL draft By Mark Craig When your COVID-19 era to-do list has dwindled to making sure your normally hyperactive teenager doesn’t sleep 23 hours a day, you improvise. You maybe, I don’t know, talk to Jared Allen. See how the four-time NFL All-Pro defensive lineman, who calf-roped 136 quarterbacks in his potential Hall of Fame career, is doing down in Nashville chasing after daughters Brinley Noelle, 8, and Lakelyn, 5. “Just hanging out at the house doing home-schooling and all that good stuff,” the former Vikings star said. “We have a pretty big yard. When it’s not raining, we get out there and hang out. My wife [Amy] and I don’t leave the house much at all. All’s quiet.” As he speaks, though, you see the NFL-related tweets scroll by. … NFL expands playoff field to 14 teams! … Buccaneers announce Tom Brady will wear No. 12! … The NFL draft will march on with “good social distance role modeling” of 10 or fewer people — all 6 feet apart — in every draft room and player’s house! … The NFL isn’t doing anything wrong by conducting its high-speed business at a safe distance from a low-speed world that’s buffering. Nor is it behaving admirably as some sort of heroic distraction for people worrying about loved ones or finding a barber and a roll of toilet paper before training camp. Let’s hope the NFL and its talking TV heads understand the latter when they go live with the draft April 23-25. A nation will no doubt tune in. Right, Jared? Um, you do watch the draft, Mr. Allen? The short answer: “I do not,” Allen said. The more entertaining old-school answer: “I know the kids being drafted are having the time of their life …” But? “I think the draft is probably the most boring thing to put on TV imaginable,” Allen said. “I guess I’ve never been a big fan of sitting there and getting all crazy and ecstatic about a guy who hasn’t done a single thing in the NFL yet.” Bless you, 69. Bless you. It’s kind of like a defensive end named Dimitrius Underwood playing in the Big Ten, getting drafted in the first round and quitting after his first practice. Or like a defensive end named Jared Allen playing for Division I-AA Idaho State, getting drafted in the fourth round and earning the right to scoff at all draft-related hoopla forevermore.

    All-Nfc North Team

    ALL-NFC NORTH TEAM By Bob McGinn Posted: Dec. 31, 2005 Scouts from each of the NFC North teams were asked last week to rank the top three players in the division at each position. They were not permitted to vote for their own players, and none of the comments that follow in the position-by-position rundown was made by a scout about a player on his own team. A first-place vote was worth three points, a second-place vote was worth two and a third-place vote was worth one. Asterisks denote unanimous selections. OFFENSE NO. 1 WIDE RECEIVER: *Muhsin Muhammad (Chi.), 9 points. Others: Donald Driver (GB), 7; Roy Williams (Det.), 5; Travis Taylor (Minn.), 3. Comments: Muhammad dropped 11 passes and cost the Bears $12 million in signing bonus, but he was light years better than the No. 1 from '94, David Terrell. "It's a bad group," one scout said. "If (Rex) Grossman had been the quarterback it'd have been easier to determine where Muhammad is at in his career." Driver had one of his finest seasons. "He's still a better 2 than he is a 1," one scout said. Williams ranks as a two-year disappointment. "He has to understand the difference between being hurt and being injured," one scout said. LEFT TACKLE: Chad Clifton (GB), 8. Others: Jeff Backus (Det.) and John Tait (Chi.), 6; Bryant McKinnie (Minn.), 4. Comments: Clifton had too many penalties but made first team for the third year in a row. "He's close to elite," one scout said.

    2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus

    2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus Director of College Scouting Steve Mathes _ @JudgeMathes Positional Outlook Quarterback Buffalo is not going to look to rock the boat by bringing in a legitimate threat to Josh Allen’s job, they believe in him as the franchise QB. Players Met With or “Linked-To” Likewise, they don’t appear to be looking to challenge Matt Barkley as a James Morgan - Florida International back-up either. He has a great relationship with Allen, isn’t threatening his job, and brings traits Allen doesn’t have like anticipatory throwing they hope will rub off on him. That leaves Davis Webb, the practice squad QB, as the only one at real risk of competition. The Bills met with Morgan, but this was before his stock significantly heated up. If the Bills decide to challenge Webb look for a UDFA QB to be the guy to do it. Running Back The Buffalo Bills have only two viable runners on their roster currently in Devin Singletary and TJ Yeldon. They will look to add a third to this tandem to replace Players Met With or “Linked-To” the departed Frank Gore. Cam Akers - Florida St. Gore was known as the “bruiser”. When he was on the field defenses tended to JK Dobbins - Ohio St. know what was coming. It appears from their list of potential targets the Bills Clyde Edwards-Hellaire - LSU are looking to buck that trend. Darrynton Evans - Appalachian St. Zack Moss - Utah On their list are mostly “All-Purpose Backs” and one guy who is all traits (SPEED) D’Andre Swift - Georgia in Darrynton Evans.

Check out the projections tab inside the ESPN Fantasy game. *'Team stat rankings' is where each team is projected to finish in the category that is shown. *'Unit Grades' is not related to fantasy football and is an objective ranking of each team at 10 key positions. The overall grades are weighted based on positional importance. The scale is 4.0 (best) to 0.1 (worst). A full rundown of Unit Grades can be found on page 51. *'Strength of Schedule Ranking' is based on 2020 rosters (not 2019 team record). '1' is easiest and '32' hardest. See the full list on page 50. *Note that prior to the official release of the NFL schedule (generally late April/early May), the schedule shown includes the correct opponents, but the order is random *Have a question?
