N'Keal Harry Agrees to Vikings Contract After 1 Year with Bears

The Minnesota Vikings have added a former first-round pick to the fold.

Field Yates of ESPN reported the team signed wide receiver N'Keal Harry on Sunday, adding another potential weapon for quarterback Kirk Cousins.

Harry was the 32nd selection in 2019 NFL draft by the New England Patriots and was with the team until 2021. He also played for the Chicago Bears in 2022.

Harry has struggled to produce throughout his career. He missed the first half of his rookie season with an ankle injury and never really returned to form. He has 714 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 40 games, and his season high for yards is just 309.

His Bears tenure was also injury riddled, and he only had 116 yards and a touchdown in eight games. Still, the potential that led him to 213 catches, 2,889 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns in three seasons at Arizona State remains.

He also has a 6'4", 225-pound frame and has never truly played in an offense with top-end receiving talent. That will not be the case in Minnesota, as he joins a corps of weapons that includes Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Reagor.

They also have a four-time Pro Bowler at quarterback in Cousins and are coming off a 13-4 season that saw them win the NFC North. With significant talent ahead of him, this could be Harry's chance to shine in a less strenuous role on a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
