Is James Harrison gone next year?

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

His wonderful performance shouldn't get lost in this cesspool of a "game" today.

Congratulations, James Harrison, on being one of the best Linebackers the Steelers have ever had. And that is quite a statement.

I hope he sticks around another year.

Father Time isn't on his side.

[BradshawsHairdresser]

JH plays for a Super Bowl. After seeing the results of another lame game plan vs. the Pats, he's probably thinking there's little use in returning to this team.

[Ernie]

Exactly right Bradshaw.

[Ernie]

Father Time isn't on his side.

No...it's not... but he would still be effective if managed like he was this year. He's still dominant when in shape and healthy

[Iron Shiek]

He looked defeated on the sideline when he came out late in the game. He worked his a$$ off, felt bad for him. Gotta rally around him next year in his swan song. Win it for Deebo.

Harrison said after the game "I'm not done". So we shall see.

That's as good of a reason as any I can think of.

He said he wasn't done last night and said to a reporter (maybe Wexell) earlier that he wanted to play 2 more seasons. I'd love to see him go out Bettis style.

[feltdizz]

Yes, he will be back.

[NorthCoast]

JH brings more per dollar spent than anyone else on the defense. Bring him back and let him play the last 8 games of the season.

[Ernie]

Yep.. JH will probably spend half or more of next year's pay check... on his medical team. Not saying it as a knock to him. He's my favorite Steeler of all game. Just making a point that this dude is the extreme.

I said two years ago when he was "pretending" to be considering retirement.
Harrison will be done when the Steelers are done with him, not a second sooner.

Even if he "retires" it will be because he was told he would not be retained ala Troy or Arians.
