So am I correct saying that since he has a new contract with the fish were clear for the remainder of his prorated contract?

The Green Bay Packers' decision to release cornerback Al Harris was "not a physical decision," coach Mike McCarthy said Monday. Instead, McCarthy said, "this is a big-picture roster decision."

Translation: The Packers didn't have much use for a reserve cornerback who wouldn't be a special-teams contributor and might hinder the development of a younger player.

Harris obviously wasn't going to reclaim his starting job from Tramon Williams, and the Packers like what they've seen from rookie nickel back Sam Shields.

So at best, Harris would have been the Packers' dime back assuming everyone ahead of him remained healthy.

Has any one seen a game with Al playing for Miami? I just wondered if he looked like he is the same Al we knew or if he lost a step or two. The stats show 3 tackles in 3 games but that doesn't mean a whole lot.

I'm no football expert, but he seemed to be a non-entity in the games I watched. I only remember his name being called by the commentators once.

Look, Al is a fierce competitor. He worked his ass off to recover from one of the worse knee injuries a human can have. He had what was it, five tendons or something snap tear or rip? This happened in his mid 30's too. He was already losing a step.

I think him saying the Packers led him on is pathetic and I'm surprised he'd say something like that. I've always admired him for his blunt comments and intelligence. But he needs to get real.

I don't doubt the Packers were weighing Sam vs Al and if Sam faltered they'd have cut someone else, depending on if Sam showed promise.

If Al would have gotten any time, it'd have taken away from Tramon or Sam, what good would that do when he's not better than either of them?

No one likes to lose their job. Add in his intense rehab over the past year or so. Yeah, he's gonna be pissed. Al himself said the Packers told him to take as much as he needed. They had to make the best choice for the Packers, not Al Harris.

Unfortunately for Al, he's nothing more than a Dime CB on our roster and honestly, I bet the Packers feel Al deserves at least a Nickel. They did him a favor, even if he doesn't see it now.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
