I am hoping MM and TT are full of sh-t about this and they just didn’t want to tell everyone that Al will never be the same player again. He gave a lot to the Packers and maybe listing other reasons was a way to part ways with dignity. You have to think if he was really back to form they’d find a spot for him or at least put him on IR so the Vikings/Bears couldn’t pick him up.

But, if Harris catches on with another team and performs well I will be upset especially if that team is in the NFC North. They essentially cut him for Pat Lee….or a 3rd FB…or Nick McDonald.

So long Al, thanks for all the effort. You are a class act. Let’s hope he is picked up by the Bears or Queenies.

If you have’t read today’s MM presser at packers.com you should. Be prepared to be angry though. Pretty much says it’s because AL doen;t play ST’s. Big picture decision. NOt based on AL’S performance at all.

Of course it could be an attempt to help Al get another team but obviously he’s gonna have to go through a try out.

Sad day as a Pack fan.

Big time bummer.
Al is a quality person and a big-time player. I was looking forward to seeing his return. Unbelievable that he made it back, after that knee injury. Blowing out his knee didn’t destroy his heart or his will.

Al will catch on somewhere in the league – just hope it isn’t with some team where he can make us regret this day.

“Proof is coming soon.”

We as fans are dealing with only a partial amount of information. Maybe it was pretty clear that Harris had lost a step and wasn’t going to be the same player. He did tear every ligament in his knee. TT and MM would never give that explanation to fans. They’ll simply thank him for his contribution and wish him luck in his next stop.

But, I’ll be upset if this move isn’t because Harris just isn’t back to form. If this is a move because they think they are deep enough at CB or because Harris doesn’t play ST’s or Harris makes too much for his new role or they didn’t want to cut a developmental player then I think it is a big mistake. One, because they may really need another CB before the season is out. Two, the Vikings and Bears both really need help at CB.

I don’t like it, but I also don’t know all the details wrt to rehab, etc. Al’s text to Wilde says he has no hard feelings and that he lost his job due to injury.

I agree that it would be a little ridiculous to release him at this point… I believe that at the very least he deserves a chance to show where he is at after this injury. I think its extremely near sighted to assume that we are all set in the secondary right now as an injury or two could hit us and we’d be kicking ourselves for getting rid of him. Its foolish. He’s been a spectacular performer and a great teammate for years. In addition, he is EXACTLY what a young team like ours needs if we reach the playoffs…. Keep the man, he earned it!!!
