James Harrison is desperate to get signed

That's probably the reason every week he releases a video of him working out to show the Steelers and other teams what great shape he's in. This week I saw a instagram video of him bench pressing 400lbs. Unfortunately for Harrison father time is undefeated, teams aren't looking for a 36 yr old OLB.

 

A persons gotta eat. Harrison will probably sign for a vet minimum somewhere in the NFL before the end of training camp. Injuries to other OLB's and teams will be calling.

 

But he loses a round every now and then. I'm okay if we don't sign him, but if I had to decide right now, I honestly think he'd be a better #3 than Moats or Carter or Zumwalt or whoever else we have.

1. He knows the D. He's a smart player, which helps aging guys.
2. He can shut down the run on his side.
3. He's in great shape (clearly) and wouldn't have to play full-time, making him more effective.
4. I bet he could still offer a decent pass rush; he's a relentless player and strong as hell.
5. The last we saw of him, he was better than any other guy we've got, other than Worilds. I'm including his time in Cincy, during which he played out of position.

He doesn't need OTAs or minicamp, especially with us. We can use this time to get the young guys reps and sign him later. I would be surprised if he doesn't play football this year.

 

1 yes
2 yes
3 yes
4 yes
5 oh hell yeah

I'm missing the part how this makes him desperate?

 

In the video, James used his Shining to tell steelersrule6 he was desperate.

 

desperate to hit a qb maybe. I also don't agree he doesn't need camp. how else will he teach the other children?

how about we sign him and joey as backups? HE HE HE. < wicked Dr. Evil laugh.

huh? huh? whadda ya tink boff em'?

 

Where did I say I hate Harrison?

 

I disagree, it reminds me of Terrell Owens he would do stuff like that when he wanted to get back in the NFL.

 

This is correct you have never said you hated him you have voiced a strong opinion that he is old and slow and by no means should he have a spot on the new young and fast Steelers. I still think James would be happy to discuss your point of view with you if only you provide a time and place. He seems to be a passionate speaker who loves a spirited debate.

 

Yeah, this is really nothing new. The only thing that makes it stand out now is that it's during Mandatory camps. Normally we wouldn't see this at this time because he's in camp.

 

It's not hate it's just opinion, I hate Brady and the Patriots along with the other teams in the AFC North not Harrison. I appreciate what he did for the Steelers, but I don't like the way he left that's all.

 

I know Harrison is a workout freak, but that thing doing the pushups with Antonio Brown comes across as a attempt to get the Steelers attention IMO.

 

he worked out with these steelers for years before last year, why wouldn't he now? peezy left and played for other teams and so did carnell, and they're back working with steelers. he doesn't need to get the steelers attention, they are fully aware he's out there.

 

He didn't actually leave, the Steelers didn't require his services and had no intention of bringing him back, unless he would come cheap.

 

I think it shows that James is not a quitter.
After being cut time after time early on he worked hard to get a chance
he still is working hard for a shot.
can't fault him that

 

the only problem to sign harrison back is that will slow the development of jarvis jones , if he come here he will start immediately at rolb
