Marvin Harrison anyone?

A buddy of mine apparently heard a "rumor" that we might be interested in getting Harrison. Although ESPN reported the Harrison camp had "no interest from teams". Still when he posed the idea, at first I didn't like it due to our youngsters, but at second glance, Harrison is still an amazing talent, and would be our #2 WR AT WORST. Of course, I have no clue what he would be seeking, but considering his legal issue last year, and there seems to be no interest in him, do you guys think we take a shot?

Re: Marvin Harrison anyone?

If I was the Ravens I would. We already have too many bodies, I guess if an injury occurred.

Re: Marvin Harrison anyone?

There is no interest in him and his "legal issue" had nothing to do with it. Marvin has lost more than a step. When he was released from the Colts, NFL live did a break down of his play over the last year or two. He does not get the separation he used to. Due to his lack of size, this is something that cannot be overlooked. Not only that, but Harrison wants his money. The Colts actually wanted to keep Marvin, but not as his salary, hence his release. I would not give him much more than vet min. at this point.

Luv Marvin but no. The young bucks need time on the field.

Re: Marvin Harrison anyone?

I'd love to have the young guys learn from a productive receiver, but I don't think he has enough to contribute on the field. So we should probably pass.

True, he could be done, but keep in mind, San Fran thought Jerry Rice was done, and he pulled in a 83/1139/9 season at 39, and a pro bowl season at 40 which consisted of 92/1211/7.
Granted Jerry Rice was by far the best WR ever, but Harrison is certainly a hard worker, hall of famer, and a cut above the rest.

FYI- Harrison will be 37.

Keep his name in the rolodex, just in case someone gets injured.

You'd rather have ARE instead of Harrison for instance?

No thanks. From what I remember SmootSmack saying about him, he wasn't liked much in the locker room and probably wouldn't be much help to our young receivers.

WHAT? That's the first I heard this. I always heard he was a consumate professional with an unmatched work ethic. The fact that Peyton Manning loved him means a lot to me.
So please inform me of his dislike in the locker room, cause this is the first I've heard of it.
