What happened: The linebacker spent one season of a two-year, $10 million contract in Pittsburgh. The Steelers released him Sunday during their final preseason roster reduction.
Why it matters: New York gains veteran linebacker depth before the 2026 regular season. Harrison also reunites with John Harbaugh, who previously coached him.
By the numbers: Harrison recorded 41 tackles in 11 games for Pittsburgh in 2025. His release left the Steelers with $2.04 million in dead money.
What to watch: Watch Harrison's practice participation and place in New York's linebacker rotation.
