Safety Anthony Harris had a breakout season for the Minnesota Vikings in 2019, but that apparently wasn't enough to earn a long-term contract with the team.
The Vikings and Harris did not agree to a new long-term contract prior to Wednesday's deadline, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The Vikings placed the franchise tag on Harris in March. As Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune pointed out, it was just the third time the NFC North team used the franchise tag in the 21st century (2003 Jim Kleinsasser and 2011 Chad Greenway).
