With the 2015 season coming to an end, it is time to look ahead to 2016 for the Minnesota Vikings. One of the most essential young pieces to the team is former 2012 first round draft pick Harrison Smith.
The Vikings do have Smith under contract for the 2016 season because of the fifth year option on his rookie contract, but the team has a history of locking down important players to long-term deals during the offseason before their deal expires. Because of that, Minnesota should be looking to work out a deal with Smith and his agent this quite soon.
