After being cut by the Steelers on Saturday, many fans were upset that Pittsburgh released one of their most valued players. Even if the linebacker was in a minimum role this season, his contribution as a veteran leader was known throughout the city.
Harrison was waived to make room for returning tackle, Marcus Gilbert. Following a PED suspension, Gilbert is set to return to the field in Week 16, which meant someone on the team needed to be dropped to make room.
Despite the move upsetting many, there was still hope the team would make a move and bring Harrison back to the roster.
