James Harrison signs with Patriots

James Harrison has decided to pursue one last Super Bowl ring before he retires, even if he has to do it with a team that was once one of his most hated rivals.

Harrison visited with the New England Patriots on Tuesday, and ESPN’s Field Yates reports that the linebacker is signing a contract with the team.

Harrison was recently waived by the Pittsburgh Steelers after appearing in just five games this season. There was some thought that they might find a way to bring him back, but apparently the 39-year-old is joining the defending champs instead.

The Patriots are in need of depth in their front seven, and this is exactly the type of veteran signing Bill Belichick has made countless times in the past. Steelers fans aren’t going to be happy about seeing a former fan favorite in a Patriots uniform.
