A look at Riley Reiff’s career earnings

The Vikings released left tackle Riley Reiff on Wednesday in a move to help them get under the cap heading into the 2021 season.

Reiff, 32, is still capable of starting somewhere else, but the Vikings weren’t in a place to pay $11.75 million for his services next season.

During his nine-year career, the 2012 first-round pick has made $60.1 million per Spotrac. A huge chunk ($44 million) of that has come from the Vikings.

The Vikings have already released kicker Dan Bailey in a move to save cap space (and probably improve the position).

Minnesota has also decided, as expected, to not put the franchise tag on safety Anthony Harris. It seems unlikely Harris ends up back with the Vikings.
