Al Harris' New Home

[vince]

At 36, he may never get over it - not before it's too late anyway. Still hoping the best for Al. Great Packer.

Welcome Teamcheez!

Per the MJSO:

Cornerback Al Harris, who didn't look good as Miami's nickel back Thursday night (emphasis added) against Chicago, received a one-year, $2.13 million deal last week.

The interesting aspect of Harris' contract is the split salary he was forced to accept. It means that if Harris is placed on injured reserve, his base salary of $1.75 million would be reduced to $600,000.

Goes on to say it is the type of split contract that normally only low round draft choices are asked to sign.

As I understand it, there's a long recovery time to get back to 100% on that kind of an injury.

I like Al Harris and wish him well, but at the same time if he looks good, and one of the Packers' corners gets hurt (knock on wood that that does NOT happen), I dread the GPPG and JSO response...

acls aren't really 100% until the second year. his injury was much worse. he's made an amazing recovery to this point. next season will tell more if he's still around.
