Marvin Harrison anyone?

[celts32]

I think Marvin is done. And I think if he signs it should be with a team that plays on the fake stuff...he is as slow as a mule on real grass. Most of his good performances lately came at home in the dome. No thanks...

At this point in Harrison's career...definitely.

We do not need to hold back the development of the young WRs another year. Kelly's knees already did that.

[Chief PA]

not interested, watching him last year he was not the marvin of years past. He flat out lost it

[Ruhskins]

Like I said when Torry Holt was being discussed, let the young wideouts play, we don't need an old vet taking snaps away from them.

[SmootSmack]

Maybe we'll give Hackett another shot?

Might as well, you can always cut him if he can't stay out of the training room.

At least we can get him for cheap.
Don't know why it's OK to go after Hackett / Washington but not Harrison. (unless of course it's a money issue)
People say let the youth play...well that article does speak of this:

Malcolm Kelly is coming off another knee issue, Devin Thomas has much to prove and James Thrash may perhaps finally be vulnerable to age, so that's a spot that could use some upgrades and improved depth.

Really, we could use AT LEAST one veteran upgrade.
Randle El- 53-593-4tds, in a full 16 games.
Harrison- 60-636-5tds, in 15 games. (through injuries too)
Rather have Harrison than Hackett. Didn't like the idea of Hackett the first time around, still dont care for it, but as a vet min, that's fine. I do think Harrison would take a vet min due to lack of options from other teams. It's either play for vet min, or don't play...what would you do?

[Superman13732]

No to Harrison, slow and old. But here is a prediction, Kelly gets max 20 catches, and only plays in 5 games due to more knee surgery.

[DoggDayAfternoon]

Those old legs just ain't what they used to be..ain't what they used to be..ain't what they used to be..

[Pocket$ $traight]

I would rather give DJ Hacket a shot.

[sportscurmudgeon]

If Marvin Harrison had the reputation for being a mentor to other receivers on the team, I'd take a shot on him for one year. I think his legs are shot and that he can't play most of the snaps on offense for a 16-game season any more. But if he was a mentor/leader, the young receivers on this team could use a dose of that. [Boy, could they ever...!]


However, there is no solid basis for making that assessment with regard to Marvin Harrison.


Ergo, pass on him...

I'd rather have Harrison than ARE as well but right now I really don;t want either.

[skins89moss]

I say no on Marvin Harrison due to the fact that he is on the decline and will not come cheap. We need to get younger not older so lets give our second year WR a shot to contribute on the field. I do think that its time for James Thrash to get into coaching than keep playing. He still great on special teams but he takes a roster spot at WR that we could use for another WR who can contribute to the offense.
So Noooo to Harrison.

What "IF" we could get Harrison at the vet min?

(not sure the cap hit we would have if we dropped ARE)

[rypper11]

Harrison now is similar to Jerry Rice in the last two years of his career. Skill set is better than most #4 or #5 wr's but he can't or won't play special teams so there really isn't a spot for him on a game day roster.
