Bengals Agree To Contract With Ex-Steelers LB James Harrison

James Harrison is going to get his wish, he's going to get to face the Pittsburgh Steelers twice in 2013, and both games will be in prime time.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Friday that Harrison has agreed a two-year contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, per Harrison's agent Bill Praise. Harrison and the Bengals talked contract last weekend before breaking off talks on Monday. Perhaps the NFL schedule release helped seal the deal. The Bengals, after all, have a Monday night game and a Sunday night affair on tap against Harrison's former team.

Have fun having him for maybe half a season.

 

And what do you base this on?

 

in a tight division you need guys that hate the teams ya play twice a year

 

awesome although i wouldent really say he hates the steelers right now as much as he just wants to prove them wrong.

 

Situational pass rusher, can't see him as an every down linebacker or end for them.

 

He actually was pretty decent the second half of the season in 2012...starting around Week 11 or 12. Ironically, that's when the Steelers as a team were at their worst, but Harrison played well.

 

I haven't really watched him much. Does he have 2 years left? The little I heard about him in blogs and whatnot is that he is kinda worn out.

 

He's definitely worn out, but he should be more than serviceable...

 

well, we still don't have the details of the contract but i would hope it's not an enormous amount of money. he was making about $8 or $9 mill/yr with the steelers. probably right now he's worth half that.
