Safety Harrison Smith returning for 14th season with Vikings on one-year, $10.25 million deal

Season No. 14 is on deck for Harrison Smith.

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.

An all-time Viking who has at least one more year left in him, No. 22 isn't done yet.
