Harrison asks Colts to release him

[M.o.B]

After the two sides couldn’t agree on a restructured contract, WR Marvin Harrison asked the Colts to release him, a league source said Sunday night.

As much as the team would rather not — and Colts president Bill Polian acknowledged Sunday that it’s a tricky situation — Harrison is a luxury that Indianapolis can no longer afford.

Now that Harrison has declined to restructure his contract, the Colts have little choice but to let him and his $13.4 million salary-cap number go. It will mark the end of an illustrious 13-year career in Indianapolis, where Harrison and QB Peyton Manning formed one of the greatest quarterback-receiver tandems in NFL history.

Already the speculation about where Harrison will land is beginning. For starters, Harrison is determined to continue playing. A logical landing spot would be the receiver-needy Philadelphia Eagles, where Harrison would be reunited with his former Syracuse teammate, QB Donovan McNabb, while getting to play in the city where he lives.

Marvin was the business.....will be a shame 2 see him go, but he PUT IN WORK 4 the squad and has definetly seen better days.....he used 2 have pure jets and well....that's not his game anymore, but if he ended up in Philly, that'd be a good spot 4 him, their receivers suck the bag

[short]

he had a great and legendary career with the colts

He really declined this year, but he still has some juice left in the tank. Hopefully this and Dungy will help shake up the power structure in the AFC.

i agree. lol @ him asking 2 b released. like the colts were gonna keep his washed up ass around for $9mil.

 

[MooreBlock530]

he was going to be the highest paid WR in the league next year..

although i think hes the best WR in his generation....he just isnt worth it

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Marvin at all, but I always thought he was a little fruity... Gay Bladin' or not I would take him on my team anyday.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Marvin Harrison refused to take a pay cut. The Indianapolis Colts couldn't afford to keep him without one.

On Monday, the two sides reached agreement on one thing: Harrison will be a free agent.
