I knew that Al Harris was going to get a lot of interviews.

The turnaround that he had of this Bears secondary was incredible.

What he did with an injured secondary deserves honor.

All of the credit in the world, making Kevin Byard an All-Pro again.

And Al would probably say, oh, Kevin Byard did that himself.

And yes, Kevin Byard deserves credit.

Yes, all those things.

But you still got to go out there and do it and be put in positions to succeed, which is something that I think Al Harris helped do.

There's a high, high praise for Al Harris right now among league circles.

And if he doesn't go to Pittsburgh, like you mentioned, maybe he just drives the price up on Washington.

Because if there's one guy who probably also appreciates what he did with that secondary, it's defensive coach Dan Quinn.

I don't think we're out of the woods with Al Harris and jobs yet.

He may be able to call his shot, but I just selfishly hope it's not one of these.

If Matt LaFleur is still mad about the Bears rivalry, even though Al Harris is a former Packer, do you think that may have had something to do with it?

Probably not, I guess, because they wouldn't have brought him in to interview or they wanted secret info.

Was three games not enough, Matt LaFleur?

You know what?

The thing that I found the most compelling about the Philip Rivers career arc this year was not even necessarily the comeback to the NFL because that was prolific.

Let's just be honest about that.

The whole thing was very inspiring.
