Eagles bring back safety Anthony Harris on a one-year deal originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Eagles re-signed safety Anthony Harris to a one-year deal Friday evening, bringing the 30-year-old veteran back for a second season in Philadelphia.
The move was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter and confirmed by NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Harris became an unrestricted free agent this week, but the Eagles – desperate for safety help and either unwilling or disinterested in high-priced safeties on the market – brought the long-time Viking back.
The Eagles paid Harris $4 million last year on a one-year deal – signed one year ago Saturday – and although terms of this deal aren’t yet available this one is presumably in the same range.
It’s something of a surprising move considering Harris’s play last year could best be described as uninspiring and there was a sense the Eagles wanted to upgrade the safety spot – which they still can do.
Harris wasn’t awful last year by any…
