Report: Ex-Jet Harris Reaches 2-Year Deal With Patriots

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Does this really surprise anyone?

Two weeks after being cut by the rebuilding Jets, linebacker David Harris has agreed to a two-year contract with the New England Patriots, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday.

Harris, who will almost certainly be inducted into the Jets’ Ring of Honor after his playing career is over, played 11 seasons with Gang Green, and was considered one of the most respected players in franchise history.

“It was an organizational decision,” Jets head coach Todd Bowles said of Harris’ release on June 6.
