Steelers release veteran LB James Harrison

[rtfgbfan]

I could see NE picking him up. But not to pick up the Steelers defense. I think they have that pretty well figured out at this point.

Seriously I think Steeler fans better hope someone claims him before he drops to NE. I could see him having huge games for NE come playoff time. He won't get a lot more playing time but BB and Patricia will use him like they did Long last season.

Steelers did him a dirty. He deserves better. Or Tomlin trying to get ahead of the next PED scandal.

He would look good in a Patriots uniform... Might as well give him a shot

Can't say that I'm surprised, but he deserves better than this exit. In the small amount of snaps he was used this season he was still effective in pass rush situations, but Butler's defense has been dropping the OLB's into coverage more often which Harrison simply could not do. And, unlike every other backup LB on the roster, he was not playing special teams. He was essentially viewed as an unusable asset. But that isn't to say they couldn't have used him, they simply chose not to.

All that being said, there's more to say about TJ Watt being further ahead of the rookie curve than they had expected. Watt took the reins and never let go. He's a stud and deserves every snap he can take.

But again, Harrison deserves better than this shove out the door. Part of me would love to see him catch on with another team this week and make us regret the decision. Praying that team isn't New England.

What bet in hell did you lose, to be forced to wear that avi?
How long do you have to wear it?
Why cant you puss out and not post until the bet is complete?

And Brady's WitchDoctor might be able to make him young again.

Steelers release franchise sack leader Harrison


Somebody going to the playoff's is going to pick him up for sure.

Isn't he pushing 40?

NE where all over the hill players come to resurrect their careers.

No way in hell. Harrison likes benching Buicks. No way he goes for Dr. G's pilates workouts.

That guy is still animal and prob stronger than any player in their 20's was pulling a sled with 1800 lbs of steel plates on them. He was working out at like 3am after playing in a evening playing game last year, Beastmode.

Lions should pick him up just to play the Bengals. Our LB's suck.

1-week avi bet made with @NEPatsfan for last week's game.

I'm no poosay. The darkest places in hell are reserved for bet welchers.

 

[R.J. MacReady]

yes. he's an old man

It could make sense for a playoff bound team to hire him as a mercenary just for the playoff's.
He really wants to play so a serious SB contender might have some leverage to get him for a good price.

And I bet he would love to stay in the AFC to prove a point.

Do you have the jags defense figured out however?
