Colts Release Harrison

by Ben Cook on February 24, 2009

The Indianapolis Colts have released future Hall of Fame receiver, Marvin Harrison.

Harrison is second on the career receptions list and the Manning to Harrison connection ranks #1 in completions, yards, and touchdowns of any quarterback/wide receiver pair since the 1970 merger.

By releasing Harrison, the Colts save roughly $7 million against the salary cap for a player who, while one of the all time greats, has been a shadow of his former self over the past two seasons.

Harrison missed most of the 2007 season following the Colts’ SuperBowl victory, appearing in only 5 games with just 20 receptions and 1 TD. Last year, Harrison again battled health issues, but did manage to play in 15 games. He was limited, however, to 60 catches for 5 TDs.
