Nice.

Let's hope its a good investment, he's on the downside. This isn't going to be popular here but I think this might be a mistake.

Smith hasn't shown any signs of his play dropping off due to age yet. The Vikings' defense suffered last year due to injuries and a general lack of talent, but things would've been even worse without Smith doing his best to hold it together. He tied his career-high with five interceptions, recording ten total passes defended to go along with 89 tackles and five quarterback hits. He was PFF's 14th-highest graded safety and will have a chance to return to the elite tier in 2021 with significantly more talent around him.
Since he came into the league nine years ago, no safety has more interceptions than Smith's 28. He has recorded multiple interceptions in every season except 2016 and has four career pick-sixes, all coming early in his career. Smith has 66 career passes defended, 13.5 sacks, seven forced fumbles, and 747 combined tackles.
After a strong four-year start to his career, the Vikings signed Smith to a five-year, $51.25 million extension prior to the 2016 season. He enters the final year of that deal in 2021, but now has some long-term security with the only NFL team he's ever played for.
Smith made five straight Pro Bowls from 2015 to 2019, and graded as one of the very best safeties in the league in 2017 (first) and 2019 (third), via PFF. He was a first-team All Pro in 2017 and a second-team All Pro in 2018.

$26.38 guaranteed is all I really read into it. 

Good for Harrison Smith, he's been a stalwart for the Vikings.

Trying to find the tweet comparing Harry's numbers to the recent HOF inductee Troy P. Very favorable.

I like that the cap hit drops in '22 to '24, but this is a lot of money for a lot of years for a 32 year old safety. Rick and the Wilfs are big fans of drafted players retiring as Vikings, and this looks like another one, but man...

I’m looking forward to having the Hitman & Patrick Peterson patrolling our secondary…! These 2 cats are actually tied at 28 career interceptions, let the ball hawking begin…!  B)
