    Re: Steelers activate Gilbert; release James Harrison

    I'm sure there is more to this and probably cause of James complaining but still a sh!it move by the steelers to do this 2 days before Christmas. You don't do that to your all time sack leader and one of the biggest fan favorites ever. Ben and James seem close and bet Ben is done after this year for sure now. Ps. I think James retires or doesn't comeback even if he passes waivers but we shall see.

    Even if Watt and Dupree went down they still wouldn't have put Harrison in. Something isn't right at all about this. They start the painfully useless Jarvis Jones for years, but can't seem to manage to put Harrison in for some snaps.

    If he signs with the Pats that could be trouble for the Steelers. But according to many on here it is literally impossible for Harrison to be effective in the NFL.

    But it's ok because the Steelers have held onto McCullers.

    Jame will get to spend Christmas with his kids now. he said he didn't like playing on Christmas day. and since he wasn't going to play anyways. would not be surprised to see him added back to the team Tuesday morning.

    If Harrison does play for the Patriots I hope he will be ineffective vs the Steelers.

    I suppose he could clear waivers and be re-signed. Patriots could try to sign him, but they run a 4-3. Perhaps the Chiefs, Titans or Ravens. I seriously doubt a non-playoff team would sign any player at this point of the season.

    This is just going to have to play itself out before we know what happened or how this ends.

    I'd like to see Bell run him over in a Pats uniform for the winning AFCCG TD.

    I would've agreed had Harrison not posted that farewell message. That has me thinking he's either retiring or will sign with a team that would allow him to get some snaps in

    Cutting Harrison... benching Burns... they're sending a message. This ain't the good ship lollipop. There's ONE goal.

    Harrison won't get the team any comp picks. McCullers, as much as he might blow, could get the team a comp pick when he signs elsewhere.

    Please come back, James!

    If the Ravens or Patriots pick him up, I'm going to lose my shit.

    If Watt goes down, this team is screwed. There's literally no depth at the olb position

    If James wanted released because of not playing, the team had little option but to grant his wishes. All I can say is, if this is the case he hasn't learned anything from his last Bengal episode.

    Re: Steelers activate Gilbert; release James Harrison

    When JH came out of retirement, he said then he only did it for the Steelers. His boys wanted him to stay retired until he told them he would be playing for the Steelers, then they said yes. I'm not saying he won't play elsewhere, but I would be a little shocked if he chose to play for NE or Baltimore. I could see him staying closer to home and playing for the Eagles maybe, or going to play for Lebeau again, but the other team destinations just don't make sense considering JH's history.

    Apparently Harrison asked for his release in the beginning of the season and they said no. He asked again later and they fed him a lie about an OLB may get hurt so we need you. Which is of course crap because Harrison was 5th on the depth and inactive for many games.

    According to the coach Harrison is below Chickillo and Moats so he wouldn't play a down. If Watt went down they would probably sign a FA OLB and Harrison would remain inactive. Also, according to some fans Harrison is totally incapable of playing football. You know, the same crap they said when the Steelers let him go last time.

    They could have cut McCullers. If someone went down they could have re-signed him or signed any DL scrub to equal his output. McCullers is nothing more than a warm body. McCullers probably won't be on the team next year.

    Seems like Harrison is just being a bitter prick. Not mad that he signed with NE. Definitely disappointed if all those things that are coming out are true. I always envisioned Harrison as an ideal teammate. Not some whiny issue-causing asshat

    Tomlin appears to have lied to Harrison about time and refused to release him early in the season when Harrison asked.

    .......or Harrison should have actually been a member of the team.

    He should have helped other teammates better learn the position and mentor them like all other great Steelers players have.

    He should have worked on agility and conditioning drills instead of just strength exercises and posting on social media.

    We're finding out he didn't do anything to earn any time on the field, because anyone that acted like this whose name isn't James Harrison would have been ridiculed by people like you and thrown out on the street much earlier in the season.

    Just being James Harrison doesn't excuse being a complete asshole and not trying to help the team in any way. He became the cancer to this team. The team didn't make him an asshole that hurt the locker room. He made that decision all by himself.

    It's time for your one-man crusade to stop. Your comments are silly and frankly, embarrassing. For a guy that speaks about old-school values, toughness in players, and liberal thinking, you have completely lost sight of what a Steelers player should be. Your pride and stubbornness on this issue is clouding your judgement and your ability to make sense.

    Tell me something about Harrison's behavior that has been confirmed and commented on by his ex-teammates that you would tolerate from any other player.

    You have been wrong about him. Just admit it.
