The Cincinnati Bengals and linebacker James Harrison continued to discuss a contract with a source telling ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter in a text Tuesday that it "does not look like the numbers will work." Harrison visited the Bengals facility last week as they look to replace former starter Manny Lawson, who signed with the Buffalo Bills this offseason.
The 34-year-old Harrison was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers last month after refusing to take a pay cut. Harrison was set to make $6.57 million this season if retained by the Steelers.
The former defensive player of the year's agent said his client would be open to a return to the Steelers, but the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that the team is not interested in a reunion. Harrison had previously met with the Baltimore Ravens on the same day Baltimore reached an agreement with Elvis Dumervil, which ended the team's interest in signing Harrison.
