Bears release Harris
The Chicago Bears have finally decided to release former first-round draft pick Tommie Harris.
Harris came out of Oklahoma as a dominant lineman who could stuff the run and rush the passer.
The team signed Harris to a big extension in 2008 even though some in the organization felt it was a bad move.
Harris was fined more than 12 times by the organization for various reasons, and he also didn’t perform on the field.
Head coach Lovie Smith said he thought it was best for all parties that they go in different directions.
