The Vikings announced this morning that offensive tackle Mike Harris has re-signed with the team.
Harris was a restricted free agent and the team tendered him last week to secure his rights. Terms of the deal are not yet known, but Harris will make $1.542 million in 2015 if he simply signed his RFA tender.
The Vikings claimed Harris last August after the Chargers waived him during their final preseason roster cuts. Harris, the team's backup swing tackle, ended up starting five of the 12 games he appeared in due to the season-ending injury to right tackle Phil Loadholt. Injuries also forced him to play right guard, something he hadn't done since youth football, in the Week 7 loss to the Bills.
Harris showed enough when he got on the field for the Vikings to keep him around for this season.
Presumably, he will compete to again back up left tackle Matt Kalil and Loadholt. He is not built like a guard, so it would be surprising if the Vikings gave him a shot to fill their vacant left guard spot.
