A closer look at James Harrison’s playing, and talking, history vs. the Patriots

After 14 years in Pittsburgh, James Harrison has found a new home in New England.

The 39-year-old veteran linebacker, who was released by the Steelers Saturday, signed a one-year deal with the Patriots. Despite being used sparingly by his former team this season — playing just 40 snaps over the course of five games — Harrison has said he still wants to contribute. The two-time Super Bowl champ told Michele Tafoya earlier this month that he wouldn’t have re-signed with the Steelers, if he knew his participation was going to be so limited.
