Why in the world would the Steelers hope the patriots would sign him??
I think under the circumstances, Harrison could be very valuable to N.E. from a strategic sense for the AFC championship game, and the Patriots always look for any kind of edge (sometimes even legal ones). Signing a guy like Harrison that knows the Pgh defense backwards and forwards, just prior to the playoffs, was a no brainer for the Patriots. The Steelers should have deemed the signing likely, and kept him off the market by re-signing him, which they could have done. Steelers screwed up.
