In 2022, nearly 20 percent of the Minnesota starting defense will be named Harrison.
Via NFL Media, Bills defensive tackle Harrison Phillips is expected to sign with the Vikings. He’ll join long-time safety Harrison Smith in Minnesota.
A third-round pick in 2018, Phillips appeared in 14 regular-season games and started eight in 2021.
The move comes at a time when the Vikings are shifting from a 4-3 to the 3-4 defense. It requires a reconfiguration of the roster to fit the defense. Obviously, they see Phillips as fitting.
Phillips is the first unrestricted free-agent addition for the Vikings in the current process. They’ve lost safety Xavier Woods to Carolina, and center Mason Cole to Pittsburgh.
