Ryan Harris, Philadelphia Eagle

Great signing, lot of Broncos fans wanted him back. They say he's a borderline pro bowl talent but injuries have held him back. Think he eventually becomes the starter.

Almost looks like they'll have some depth on the line this year.

Little worrisome that the Broncos or any team for that matter would let a 25 yr old potential pro bowl lineman walk like that. His injuries are probably a lot worse than expected.

Either way it's needed, so if the Eagles get lucky and he dodges injuries for a year-thank you Broncos.

They didn't. They were actually in the process of re-signing him.

This guy is week 1 starter. Watch. Not cuz he's the next Willie Roaf, but because of the hot garbage that's at RT right now.

My boss is a die-hard Broncos fan and he about went through the roof this morning when I told him about Harris.

QuoteSelected by Denver in the third round of the 2007 draft, the 26-year-old Harris played his first four NFL seasons for the Broncos, starting at right tackle for the last three

I don't think he'll have any problem taking Justice's starting spot

according to domo he doesnt fit denvers new mash mouth running game scheme that fox likes to run...which is why they didnt make a crazy push to get him back

on the flip side he fits mudds system well being a smaller athletic type guy....he only weighs 300 pounds or 15 punds less than aq shipley

since you all love Ray Diddy, he absolutely is in love with this pick up.

Drunkmasterflex · August 03, 2011, 03:24:17 PM

I've noticed Diddy has been slippin since he came back from heart surgery. That is besides the point though I really like this signing if the dude can stay healthy.

Nah--I dont think that was the case of them re-signing him. Elway made it pretty clear in April that they weren't bringing Harris back, and the visit to Denver was supposedly just a formality. Just sayin.

Either way it doesnt matter--his potential with a new line coach could do wonders.

QuoteHarris was the best of the still-available free agent tackles. Early yesterday, though, it looked like he was going to re-sign with the Broncos. He was scheduled to go there Tuesday for a "visit" with new head coach John Fox and was expected to take a physical and probably re-sign. But the Eagles sweet-talked yet another free agent into coming to Philadelphia.

rjs246 · August 03, 2011, 11:33:21 PM

But but, reese said...

General_Failure · August 03, 2011, 11:36:39 PM

They're only doing it to piss him off.

reese125 · August 03, 2011, 11:52:32 PM

Thats from Domowitch, so you know he'll spin the shtein to make it look like the Eagles stole another one away.

I was going off what the Denver Post was reporting since he became a free agent. Typically they'll have the clearer inside scoop of management and their own players than a philly reporter.
