The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms to bring back safety Harrison Smith for a 14th season.

Smith was selected by the Vikings in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft and had been considering retirement after the most recent season — where he had 78 tackles, 10 passes defended, three interceptions, a sack and a forced fumble.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says the one-year deal is worth up to $14 million with a base of $10.25 million.

The Vikings say Smith has had more sacks than any other defensive back in franchise history and holds the Vikings record for career interception return touchdowns.

Since joining the team in 2012, the NFL says Smith has recorded 37 interceptions, 1,095 tackles and 95 passes defended.
