Bengals rumors: James Harrison visits Cincinnati


Pittsburgh Steelers free agent linebacker James Harrison visited with the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday, according to Mike Garafolo and Joe Reedy of USA Today.

Harrison marks the third free agent linebacker to visit the Bengals this week, as the team has also hosted Akeem Jordan and Karlos Dansby. Cincinnati re-signed Rey Maualuga, but they lost outside linebacker Manny Lawson to the Buffalo Bills, leaving a void.


The Bengals are one of several AFC North teams to express some level of interest in Harrison, as the veteran was scheduled to meet with the Baltimore Ravens recently. That visit was canceled once the Ravens signed free agent Elvis Dumervil, but the Cleveland Browns also showed interest earlier this offseason.

Harrison’s former team is the loan AFC North club that’s ruled out the linebacker, as the Steelers have told him they’re not interested in having him back. Pittsburgh released Harrison after he refused to take a pay cut from his scheduled salary of $6.57 million.
