We gotta resign cotch. He's our primary redzone target . I think he had 10 tds last year and a couple monster games. He plays that Hines role we need. Bring back Harrison at the vet minimum. If we can get a corner in the draft and some help at RB and WR we gonna be a problem straight up

we dont need that nikka harrison jones will have aa much better year and woriilds has improved each season, he could be our breakout player.
I still think we should have got champ on a 1year deal, we still have a shot though

i know Starks came to visit today from green bay, I like him as out 3rd down back with bell carrying the load, and we still need a left tackle but they will probably pick one up in the latter rounds.

Starks signed a 2 yr deal with Green Bay.

I wouldn't waste any time on James Harrison. He's not gonna start over Worilds/Jarvis, and he can't play any special teams. Seems like a waste of a roster spot

Lance Moore is visiting today, and Cotchery is expected to make his decision today as well.

Who said he can't play special teams. Harrison wouldn't expect to start he is light years better than Chris carter and can provide situational pass rushing. I hope your right on Jarvis but I'm not sold. One injury to him or worilds and our pass rush is gone. We need depth and Harrison seems like a great option if he comes cheap

He turns 36 in May & hasn't played special teams in 6 years, I doubt he'd be willing to contribute there. With his ego, I don't think he'd accept a backup role either. And he's not the type that's going to mentor younger players, he keeps to himself for the most part. He's worth nothing more than the vet minimum at this point, assuming he's even fully healthy. I appreciate what he did during his time as a Steeler, but they can get more value elsewhere

Bouchette thinks Harrison will return

http://sportsblogs.post-gazette.com...bout-Re-Signing-Harrison/stories/201403190001

Good morning,

We know now that James Harrison wants to return to the Steelers, but do the Steelers want him and at what price?

There is mutual attraction here and it’s quite possible Harrison will return to the Steelers for one more year. Both sides are being awfully quiet about it, but there have been talks about bringing Harrison back and I think it will happen.

It makes too much sense for it not to. The Steelers are extremely thin and relatively unproven at outside linebacker. They wanted Harrison back last season at more than $3 million. Why not have him back one year later at the veteran minimum in which he would earn $955,000 in salary plus a $65,000 roster bonus and count only $635,000 against the salary cap in 2014. If they signed him to that right now, their cap space would shrink by just $215,000 (he would replace $420,000 for a player in his first year among the top 51 salaries, which are the only ones that count until the season starts).

While many, including us, have talked about Harrison being a fish out of water in Cincinnati’s 4-3 defense last season, Pro Football Focus ranked him the second-best performer among the Bengals’ linebackers in 2013 behind only Vontaze Burfict, who received a 10.6 rating from PFF to Harrison’s 8.4. They rated Jason Worilds at a 9.5 and Jarvis Jones at a minus-3.9. Harrison, though, played in only 383 defensive snaps, about one-third as many as Burfict.

Nevertheless, the Steelers presumably would not bring Harrison back to start. He would play in a part-time role behind Jarvis Jones, unless Jones falters and Harrison shows he can still play most downs.

The Steelers really have nothing to lose. Right now, they have only Chris Carter as any kind of experienced backup on the outside (Lawrence Timmons can play there, as he has in the past, if they really need him to). If they sign him and he shows in training camp he no longer has it, they would be out that $65,000 signing bonus. That’s known as chicken feed in the business.
