Minnesota Vikings — Harrison Smith
Base Salary: $7,500,000
Not too long ago, Harrison Smith was a feared defender who helped lead a Vikings defense which boasted talent at all three levels. Minnesota’s defense has been rather dreadful over the last three seasons, and that runs nearly parallel to when Smith’s play began to slip. Now 33 years old, Smith isn’t the same type of player — against the pass and run — he once was. His declining play coupled with a hefty contract (four years, $64 million signed back in ’21) is a sore spot for the Vikes.
