The recently retired linebacker will provide depth at a position that was already thin before Jarvis Jones dislocated his wrist last night. Harrison’s agent says that the veteran linebacker is in the best shape he’s been in since 2008 or 2009. A couple hours before the news broke, Silverback posted the following video to his Instagram account.
Roger Goodell is drawing up a fine for the signing at this very moment. 😉
