| By Jamison Hensley | Apr 24, 2013 10:50 AM As everyone expected, linebacker James Harrison is making a lot less money for the Cincinnati Bengals than he would have if he took a pay cut with the Pittsburgh Steelers. How much less? According to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Harrison signed a two-year deal with the Bengals worth a total of $4.45 million. That's less than what Harrison would have reportedly received in one year with the Steelers. There were reports that the Steelers asked Harrison to take a 30 percent pay cut, which would have made his salary $4.6 million this season. Harrison refused and was released by the Steelers. Now, he's with the Bengals and won't be able to make that amount of money in two years in Cincinnati. http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=nflnation&id=75977&src=desktop ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I'd fire my agent _________________ F@(k Wallace..

| I can understand him wanting to keep the money due him after busting his butt for years, however the NFL is a business and his agent obviously convinced him he'd get more somewhere else so I agree with Drizz. I'd FIRE my agent! | |

If James, or anyone else, is looking for a new agent, I'm available. When it comes to finances, I can barely balance my checkbook, but even I knew how this situation was going to play out. - Wallace108 wrote:

They'll pay him what they think he's worth now and what they think he can do for them going forward. Sure, Harrison can ask for what he feels he earned and deserves, but as you can see, no team is giving it to him. If he ends up playing next season, more than likely, he'll be playing for about the same (if not less) than he could have played for in Pittsburgh.
