Steelers Release James Harrison

ive never seen this many releases in one NFL offseason. All are high profile named guys whove gotten older but the sheer amount is staggering.

 

 

I think it's a sign that as these contracts get bigger and bigger for marquis players, they quickly become obsolete and financially prohibitive especially in the latter years. It's like the stock market rising and falling to level itself out. These salaries are ridiculously inflated.

Very true, which is why it's really all about the signing bonus. Which given our history, does not bode well for us in a FA market competition.

The salary details of total potential compensation that the media likes to report are similar to when the police release discuss the street value of a drug bust.

The salary cap between 2006 and 2010 or so jumped a lot, and since then hasn't moved that much. I suspect this is part of the reason why.

Aside from CMJ not being funny and not knowing anything about the team while constantly lying about things I've said in the past he's one of my favorite posters

No to Harrison. 

 

And obviously he would not be brought in to a team like ours to play LB - that's just having no clue about his skillset.

 

But even as a situational pass-rusher I don't think he has enough left in the tank.

 

Like O said he would basically be used like Ayers on a team like ours, and Ayers is better at this point.

 

Harrison 5 years ago?  Hell yeah.  Today - not so much.

 

PASS

So signing with a team that just won the SB would bea total dick move when the Steelers just cut him.

Nothing dick about it at all. But the Ravens can't afford him and don't need him.

Um yeah, it actually would be when you consider the level of hatred between the two organizations. It's just like leaving the Red Sox for the yankees, Ray Allen leaving Boston for the Heat. Ask Kevin Garnett if he thought bailing and joining the defending champs was a dick move.

And the Ravens could absolutely use him if Kruger leaves.
