Harrison Thinking Long-Term?
It has been well documented the past couple of days that RB Jerome Harrison is in fact the only RFA who has been at the team’s OTA’s. Though he still has yet to sign his tender, Harrison offered up a little hint as to his intensons:
"“I just really like it in Cleveland. I like the fans. I like the people. I’ve built a lot of relationships with my teammates. That’s why I’m just going to keep playing football.”"
Harrison returned to camp after some advice from one of his youngest fans, his 8-year old niece, who told him:
"“Uncle J, just go play football.”"
I believe Harrison and team officials will come to an agreement on contract negotiations, if only for his sake. If Harrison doesn’t sign by June 15th he would be looking at an offer of around $593,000, 10% less than his 2009 salary. I just hope that the rest of the holdouts come to similar realizations as well.
