Rick Spielman, it would seem, is on a strict budget. Allow me to explain.
Earlier this week, the news emerged that Eric Wilson signed with Philly for a mere $3.25 million. It’s a modest amount given his production last year. Josh Frey explains: “Wilson had a breakout year with Barr’s absence in 2020, recording 122 tackles and three INTs over 15 starts. The former UDFA played in 96% of the Vikings defensive snaps in 2020.” Impressive numbers, indeed. The Vikings opted not to bring Wilson back.
Point #2: Anthony Harris and those pesky Eagles. The star free safety signed in Philly for a mere 1 year, $4 million (there is an incentive in there that could add on $1 million, bringing the total to $5 million).
