Veteran linebacker Malik Harrison is officially a New York Giant, signing his deal on Thursday after the Pittsburgh Steelers released him following preseason roster cutdowns.
Pittsburgh’s Move To Save Serious Cap Cash
The Steelers made a cold, hard business decision, letting Harrison go. He was carrying a cap hit just shy of $7 million for the 2026 season. By cutting him loose, Pittsburgh banked nearly $5 million in savings. It’s a tough call, for sure, especially since they signed him to a two-year, $10 million deal just last offseason. He only logged one year with them, racking up 41 tackles across 11 games.
The Eighth Reunion: Harrison Joins Familiar Faces In New York
Now, Harrison is heading to the Big Apple, and it’s a huge reunion. He’s back with his old head coach from Baltimore, John Harbaugh. That’s a significant detail, isn’t it? Even wilder, Harrison isn’t just *a* former Raven; he’s the *eighth* ex-Raven to ink a deal with the Giants this offseason, according to Jeremy Fowler. That’s a serious trend! What are they building over there?
It’s an interesting move for the Giants, bringing in a familiar face for Harbaugh and a player with recent production. Keep your eyes peeled to see how Harrison fits into this new-look roster.
