    Steelers activate Gilbert; release James Harrison

    Steelers activate Gilbert; release Harrison

    The Steelers have activated Marcus Gilbert and released James Harrison.

    The Steelers activated offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert from the Reserve/Suspended by Commissioner List to the active roster, it was announced today.

    To make room on the roster, the Steelers released linebacker James Harrison. Harrison, the team’s all-time sack leader with 80.5, originally signed with the Steelers as an undrafted rookie free agent on April 22, 2002. He’s started 107-of-177 regular-season games played for Pittsburgh (117-of-192 in his NFL career).

    Is this team abusing stupid pills? The amount of stupid displayed here is unbearable. There are a bunch of scrubs on this team that have never contributed to the team and instead, they disrespect the team's all-time sack leader by dumping him 2 weeks before the playoffs. Sheer stupidity

    On second thought, I totally get the move. After all, they didn't need him on the roster. They were set at OLB with Dud Dupree's impeccable ability to get completely pushed out of the play all the time and Chickillo and Moats' keen ability to do contribute absolutely nothing. And it's not like veteran leadership is ever useful for a relatively young and inexperienced team come playoff time

    I'm sure there's more to this story than we message board members know. Let's see how this plays out over the next few days first before losing our shit.

    That is a shabby way to treat a legendary Steeler (not HOF level but a definite great) given some of the dregs who are on the roster and have not contributed all season

    Between this and the finger pointing over the end of New England game cluster I do not feel great about the locker room vibe of this team right now

    Far classier to release Harrison and allow him the chance to resurface on another playoff roster or at least a team that will give him an opportunity to put some recent play on film.

    It’s better than not activating him each week.

    WTF ??????????????????????????????????

    Debo was playing like a MAD-MAN whenever he was put in games this season ?

    Seriously now. WTF ????????

    - - - Updated - - -

    Perhaps James tee'd off on Tomlin/Butler for NOT using him very much this season and they pussied out and end up releasing him. ???

    If you look back on Steeler dynasties, this is how they operated with the great ones.

    I would have been fine if they released him at the end of the year after the season is over, but right before playoff time allowing for a playoff team to sign him? They didn't think this through at all

    You're right. They didn't think it through. The Steelers coaches and front office are clueless.

    Note sarcasm.

    Let's see how this plays out. Harrison practiced and worked out in the facility today. I also saw that they would stand to lose possible comp picks if they cut another player, even a schmo like McCullers.

    There has to be more to this and Bet James asked to be released if they was not going to play him.

    Maybe he was bitching a bunch for not playing causing discord in the LR?. If he goes to another team then I guess he hasn't learned his lesson from last time. But I don't understand this one, Big Dan should have been dumped.

    The #Steelers cutting James Harrison makes sense. Probably the least-likely player to get claimed off waivers. Could return on Monday night

    they do have a pass rush ranked at or near the bottom of the league. im hoping this is just in hopes of Harrison clearing waivers because this just looks like a terrible move by all accounts.

    JH doesn't fit their defense.

    I believe Hunter could have been the player released if AB wasn't hurt.

    McCullers would've been my choice, but the Steelers usually keep 6 DL.
