James Harrison cut by Steelers and signed with Patriots - Derrick - 12-26-2017
James Harrison played pretty well prior to Watts being drafted. So I never understood why he was such a disaster with the Bengals. Square peg / round hole that constantly plagues this franchise. Apparently he visited and signed with New England.

I think this was a psyop more than anything. Harrison standing on the NE sideline talking smack to his former teammates all day, probably won’t have much impact, but if they have a spot for a designated a-hole - why not?
Pittsburgh doesn’t have to use a roster spot, their designated a-hole is Joey Porter.

It was a bad fit. An outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense has different responsibilities than a SAM or WILL linebacker in a 4-3 defense and not everyone can make the adjustment. James Harrison is a smart guy but after playing an entire career as a 3-4 OLB it was too big of a change.
