Report: Vikings' Harris signs franchise tender
Minnesota Vikings safety Anthony Harris has signed his franchise tender, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Harris strongly hinted that he had inked the one-year pact in a tweet on Sunday:

"I will let my agents and the Vikings work toward long-term certainty in Minnesota, but I am excited to be back for the 2020 season," wrote Harris.
The 28-year-old was reportedly holding off signing the $11.4-million tag in hopes of securing a long-term deal. The Vikings and Harris have until July 15 to agree on an extension. If they don't, the safety will play 2020 under the tag.
Harris is coming off a career-best season in which he recorded six interceptions (tied for the league-high) and 11 pass defenses. He's spent all five years of his career with Minnesota.
