Harris expects to be cut by Packers

Time marches on...

too bad ... very good player when he was healthy

Someone should give him a shot. If nothing else, he could teach some skills to the young guys. He may have a year or two left, if there's an NFL next year.

Hey, Roger, how's your work on the CBA going? It IS your job, you know. Roger? Mr. Goodell?

Oh, well, I guess nobody's home. Or he's in the bathroom investigating the Jenn Sterger incident.

CAPTION- Al Harris entertains fans by doing "The Robot".

Classy way to go! Take notes Brett!

Come to Nashville Al. We ned someone who can defend the pass!

He would be a good fit in Nashville and New Orleans also.

Amen to that! I wish Al well.

If he gets cut, I wouldn't mind seeing him come to the Patriots. I don't know if he will be able to play that much, if at all. Though he would still be a good veteran to bring in and mentor the Patriots young secondary.

Damn!!! Well I sure someone will pick him up. he is a good teamplayer.

The Patriots should think about that.

And give him a hoodie to see how he likes coaching.

I was hoping Harris could come back and play Nickel & Dime corner for the Pack.

Was also hoping Harris would return, but with the impressive play of Williams, the improved play of Shields, and slightly improved play of Bush--it seems the secondary is okay. Bigby is also back, and Collins and Woodson are premier secondary pieces. I could see cutting Bush to make room for Harris, but he is over 30, coming off knee surgery and likely won't be himself for the rest of the season. He could help a team with realistic playoff expectations and certainly as mentioned above as a tutor type role. Harris just does not fit with the Pack's scheme anymore. Bump and run isn't really valued as much--even though Harris was one of the best at it. Sad to see him go, but unfortunately the NFL is a business. I hope he can have a few more meaningful years and play well for whoever snaps him up (as long as he gets burned when he plays his old team).

I always said he was done. Cred the Pack for hangin' with him as long as they did. But in the end, Al is spent. If he can't beat out Bush for a roster spot, then things with Al cannot be all too good. Given that, it would be nice to see Al retire. Good luck Al! It was nice havin' ya on the D. And thanks for being classy about your situation. Some GB fans could take a lesson on this. Tired of the Ted Thompson haters pissin and moanin about this and that. Wish they would go root for a different team and shut their pie-holes.

Looks like another ex Packer is headed to the Vikings

Great player and a classy guy. Bummer to see him go.

You mean the Al "We want the ball first because we're gonna win" Harris. I'm sure Matt Hasselbeck is glad to hear of him retiring.

He's 35 going on 36 and plays a position emphasizing youth more than any other (besides RB). He's coming off a "catastrophic" knee injury (this has been mentioned more than a few times by coaches and training staff). He lost a roster spot to the seemingly immortal Jarrett Bush (ouch!). Guys, the writing's on the wall. Thanks for your time in GB, though. You were tough as nails.

Harris has two things, opps three things going against him: his age, the seriouness of his injury and the fact his replacement isn't having six interference calls going against him every game!
The fact that he has a lot of money due also is a problem, oops that's four things. And he doesn't get it????????????????
He would fit in with the Lions. They've got nothing and everyone on the team knows how to commit penalties that defy logic.
