Season No. 14 is on deck for Harrison Smith, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.
Smith, a six-time Pro Bowl safety, is signing a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings worth $10.25 million with a max value of $14 million, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday. The team later announced the signing.
Foregoing retirement for another go with the Vikes, the 36-year-old Smith will return to his familiar starting spot in Minnesota's defensive backfield.
A 2012 NFL Draft first-round selection of the Vikings, Smith has played 192 games -- all for Minnesota -- and is coming off a season in which he performed well in defensive coordinator Brian Flores' scheme, tallying 87 tackles, 10 pass breakups and three interceptions.
