Marvin Harrison is gone

He did not want a pay cut so bye bye

Colts president Bill Polian told reporters Sunday at the NFL Scouting Combine that the team was trying to rework Harrison's deal to lower the wide receiver's salary-cap number from approximately $13.4 million, the highest number of any wideout in the NFL.
But after the two sides couldn't agree on a restructured contract, Harrison asked the Colts to release him

t's not a surprising move because the Colts would save about $6 million, based on Harrison's base salary. They would still be charged for prorated bonuses from the $66 million deal he signed in December 2004. The Colts found it too expensive for a 36-year-old receiver coming off one of the least productive seasons of his career.
Harrison ranks second in NFL history with 1,102 receptions, and the move will disappoint many Colts fans, who embraced Harrison as a favorite.

Disappointing but a reality in the NFL. He's just not worth that much money anymore. I'd like to see him stay on the Colts but that's more on Marvin imo.
