Outside linebacker James Harrison has finalized a contract with the Bengals that will bring him to Cincinnati for the next two seasons. Details of the contract have not yet been released.

Harrison has played his entire career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In nine years, he has recorded 617 tackles, 64 sacks, and 29 forced fumbles, while only missing 14 games. Harrison will be looked at to fill the shoes of linebacker Manny Lawson who was signed by the Buffalo Bills last month.

This is a nice move by the Bengals, who still have almost $30 million in cap space. Look for Harrison's decision to sign with another AFC North team to intensify the division rivalry. The Bengals face the Steelers twice next season, and both games are in prime time.

Harrison doesn't seem to have a problem with being fined for illegal tackles - something I'm sure Big Ben is aware of.
