Well, everyone seems to be saying how great cheap is. Our cap space just might just cover the fines for a Harrison with a huge chip on his shoulder.Bounty hell, Harrison'll pay to do it.

I would kind of like him in a Saints uniform, he would bring some much needed swagger to the lb. core, knows the 3-4 D, and can still hit like a mack truck, might be what the doctor ordered a nasty attitude.

How much left does he have in the tank? He's got rings and he's got money. Why here, why now?

1. Because he fits what we want to do
2. He's still got a few years left (according to many)
3. He's gonna have to take a paycut, so he may not be as expensive as 1st thought.
4. Because the Saints are Superbowl contenders
5. Because our defense is looking for an OLB with experience, attitude and leadership

7. Roger Goodell hates us
8. Win Super Bowl

Well I thought 5 would be enough, but solid additions nonetheless.

Attitude, yes. Leadership, not so much. The guy is a tool, and I could care less where he ends up. I wouldn't want him in his prime. He is certainly far past that.

We have more than enough young talented pass rushing linebackers to gamble with, without taking a shot in the dark with Harrison, IMO.

Leadership not so much? According to his Steelers teammates he was a big presence in the locker room, a leader by example in the weight room and film room, and many would take a bullet for him. Almost any story you read about him mentions him as a team leader and very popular with teammates.

How can we not want DeBo on our team? Mr Monday Night? The Assassin? The SilverBack? All nicknames given to him by teammates and Steelers announcers because he's strong as an ox and knocks people the **** out. This guy is a beast and would look at home in the black and gold.
