Still a chance Harrison comes to Cleveland
UPDATE: Hold off on buying that
James Harrison Bengals jersey; things may have hit a snag there.
A deal between Harrison and the Bengals seemed imminent as of Monday afternoon, but things are currently "not going well," according to what a source has revealed to Mike Garafolo of
USA Today. Per the source, the talks will continue and things are not at a stalemate yet.
If the deal falls through completely, it's possible that idea of Harrison signing with Cleveland could be rekindled. Former Dick LeBeau understudy Ray Horton is now running Cleveland's defense.
