[Video] Antonio Brown Gets A Silverback Ride

Antonio Brown is helping former Steelers (and Bengals) linebacker James Harrison stay in shape, not that he needs the help. In this video posted from James Harrison’s Instagram account, the outside linebacker does a series of pushups with the 190 lb wide receiver on his back.

Harrison, who was cut by the Bengals almost 3 months ago, is still a free agent. It’s been widely reported that Silverback would like to return to Pittsburgh, and Ike Taylor reiterated as much just a few weeks ago.

In that recent interview, Taylor said Harrison’s ‘hands were like bricks’, and that he was in great shape. “He’s probably in the best shape of his life. Right now he looks like the Hulk,” said Taylor.

Personally, I’d love to see him back for another year in a backup role. However, there has been no indication by the team that it’s a possibility.

James Harrison Wants To Return To The Steelers

James Harrison was on Total Access last night on the NFL Network as part of the Steelers Dyansty week features. Ike Taylor was also a guest on the show, and had his share of questions for the former Steelers linebacker.

Harrison was released by the Bengals last week. Last night, he was asked where he wanted to play now that he was a free agent. His reply? “Pittsburgh. Everybody knows that.” With the lack of depth at OLB, and the potential need of veteran leadership, Deebo’s return could make sense. He would have to be comfortable with a low, one year contract and knowing he’d be a backup of course. Before you dismiss the idea, ask yourself who’s better on the market right now that the team can afford?

During the interview, Taylor and Harrison revisit the famous interception return during Super Bowl XLIII as well other topics. It’s enjoyable, and I recommend watching it if you haven’t seen it.

Bengals Have Released James Harrison

The Cincinnati Bengals have released veteran linebacker James Harrison today, the team has announced. The release probably wasn’t a surprise, as the move saves the team over $1.4 Mil. The former Steelers sack artist was in the last year of his contract.

Harrison wasn’t exactly a difference maker in Cincy, and the signing never really made much sense. I’m sure the question will be asked many, many times in the coming days- could Harrison return to Pittsburgh? The answer- probably not. Stranger things have happened, and of course, almost anything’s possible, but “Deebo” will be 36 in May, and he may have likely burned all bridges on his way out of Pittsburgh.

He has reportedly said that he wishes to continue playing, so who knows what his future holds.
