One of the most beloved players in the Jets’ locker room will be headed to the team’s most heated rival.
ESPN reported Wednesday that the Patriots have reached a two-year agreement with linebacker David Harris who, up until early June, had been the longest-tenured current Jet. On June 6, the Jets released Harris after 10 seasons with the team.
The release was part of a complete roster overhaul — one that saw the Jets shedding veterans and salary at a rapid rate — but it wasn’t necessarily met with overwhelming joy. Darron Lee and Sheldon Richardson, both of whom were very close to the likeable Harris, expressed sadness at his forced departure.
