Safety Anthony Harris Says Goodbye To Vikings On Instagram

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Safety Anthony Harris said he is "on a new journey" as he bid farewell to the Minnesota Vikings on Instagram Saturday.

The 29-year-old is headed to Philadelphia, as the Eagles announced Saturday he has agreed to a one-year deal with the team.

"To the fan base and community of Minnesota, I greatly appreciate you embracing, encouraging, and supporting me," Harris wrote. "You made MN a place where my family and friends felt welcomed and excited to come visit."

The Vikings now have a hole at safety next to five-time Pro Bowler Harrison Smith.
