Former Steelers LB Malik Harrison signs with Giants PS
The Steelers released LB Malik Harrison due to lack of production and a bloated salary and he's now on the Giants practice squad.
In a move to address production issues and excessive salaries, the Pittsburgh Steelers released linebacker Malik Harrison. This decision came to light through NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler. Harrison now finds himself on the New York Giants' practice squad, where he has the chance to contribute to a team in need, particularly on run defense.
Harrison was part of a crowded linebacker position, and his significant salary cap hit was likely the reason he didn't make the final roster alongside other veterans like Cole Holcomb and Carson Bruener. Alongside veteran Elandon Roberts, Harrison was one of the highly productive linebackers who didn't make the cut. The Steelers will primarily rely on Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson for their linebacker corps.
Free agent Malik Harrison has signed with the Giants practice squad with the aim to contribute early, according to sources. The seven-year veteran, who was released by Pittsburgh on Sunday, has amassed 215 career tackles and 43 starts.
