Seems like someone Childress would bring in... and I'm not joking about that. He still has young receivers in Rice and Allison. Perhaps bringing in Harrison is a way to boost our receiving corps by bringing in a guy that can both play and coach (to a degree).

Eh... it's just a thought, but seems like the sort of player Chilly would go for and I wouldn't be totally against it.

Yep he is a Chilly type of player.
Doesnt talk and just plays the game the way its suppose to be played.
I can't say I would mind bringing him in, I just wouldnt compete with other teams offers for him.
I think hell either retire or be an eagle though.

He is getting paid a sick amount of money. Maybe they have to do it to fit under the cap

they do, his cap number this year is 9 mill for an old aging receiver who had a bad year last year...
although he's coming off a knee injury i actually think he'll bounce back compared to last year.. we'll see... but that gun charge is the X factor!

The injury was part of his lack of production, the other part is that there are a number of other great recievers on that team. Peyton can only get the ball to so many guys x amount of times a game. Wayne, gonzalez,
Dallas Clark and the running backs stole all work to limit Harrisons touches.
I would not be at all apposed to bringing him in, with an incentive ladden contract.
I don't think Harrison has been charged with a crime related to the shooting, but I don't know the whole story.
One tidbit I found interesting, Donovan McNabb was Harrisons QB at Syracuse.
