Are the Tennessee Titans interested in Marvin Harrison?”
Coach Jeff Fisher says the Tennessee Titans are not pursuing veteran wide receiver Marvin Harrison. Fisher said Wednesday the team has had no contact with the free agent or his agent. The Titans had been mentioned specifically in an ESPN report as a team interested in the former outstanding Colts receiver. Fisher said he did not know where the reporter got that information but there was no possibility of Harrison joining the Titans. Harrison finished his Colts career with 1,102 receptions, second on the NFL’s career list. The Colts released him after last season to free up $6 million under the salary cap.
Fisher said Wednesday the team has had absolutely no contact with the free agent or his agent. The Titans said they have no idea where ESPN got their report from on that the team was looking into acquiring the NFL’s second all time leading receiver. Meanwhile, Marvin Harrison’s old coach in Indianapolis Tony Dungy says Harrison would be a good fit in Chicago with the Bears. Whom many say have a need at the wide receiver position this season. “I think he definitely can play and I would encourage (Bears coach) Lovie Smith to sign him if they had that opening,” Dungy told ESPN Radio Chicago on Wednesday. “Marvin can play the game,” Dungy said in the interview. “Marvin can get open and catch the ball. Marvin’s whole thing is precision. And he’s the guy that needs work in a system, you know.” Harrison finished off his Colt’s career with 1,102 receptions, 14,580 yards and 128 TD’s. He also set the NFL record for receptions in a season with 143 back during the 2002-2003 season. Indianapolis
