Not a surprise.  He is old and had a bad season, and he has a high cap hit.  The Steelers wanted him to restructure and he wouldn't do it.  Where does he end up?

Cincinnati needs an OLB and they have a ton of cap space.

Steelers released OLB James Harrison.

The move saves $5.105 million in salary cap space. "It's been a great run but all good things must come to a end," Harrison tweeted. "Thank you Steelers Nation I will miss you all!" Jason Worilds is the top in-house candidate to replace him opposite LaMarr Woodley, but the Steelers may look to the draft for more help. Harrison is going on age 35 and increasingly injury prone, but he can still harass quarterbacks at a near-elite rate. He becomes the No. 3 outside-rush linebacker available in free agency, behind only Cliff Avril and Paul Kruger.

Sounds like it's confirmed to me?

Also you can never tell if his hits are gonna cost him a fine or suspension.

 

No surprise from the Steelers, they need to get younger on the defensive side of the ball.

 

Where he ends up is a mystery to me, especially with him being 35 years old and injury prone. Whoever signs him it will probably be a short term deal, 1-2 years.

[MTC]

Colts should sign him!

 

[smittywerb]

I can see the browns or bengals making a run for him.

[lollygagger8]

He'll go to the Browns after we sign Kruger.

 

 

Not sure how I feel about that, but whatever.

[throwing BBZ]

He had a Much better season than Mathis for 1/2 the $$$.

If I were the Ravens and could get him on the cheap, I would sign him just to aggiatate the Steeler fans ! He may have a year or two left in the tank, but I wouldn't overpay. This will probably never happen, but it would be funny.
