Tommie Harris' future is uncertain

Defensive tackle says he would love to return

Because of his erratic performances and his high salary, the future of Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris is uncertain.

Asked Monday if he expects to be back with the Bears, Harris responded: "On paper, it looks that way ... if they want me."


Harris showed signs of his former dominant play late this season, but will it be enough to justify bringing him back?

"I enjoyed the ride, it was a great experience and I look forward to being here three more years," he said. "If they want me here, I will. I would love to be back here with my teammates. It's just up to them."

Local attractions: Bears safety Charles Tillman is scheduled to appear at Mount Carmel Academy (Belmont and Halsted) at 2 p.m., Tuesday. … Cubs president Crane Kenney and friends spotted dining at Hole in the Wall in Northbrook.

isn't the cap hit like $8 mil though? and he has a roster bonus of $2.5 mil? I think those are the numbers La Canfora threw out the other day

I heard that too. We have Melton and can draft a 3tech-something I think that needs to happen.

not true at all. No cap hit for trading/letting harris go

and he had a 2.5 mill bonus for 2010 none for 2011

think lacanofora is confused, harris hd a 8 mill declining incentive bonus due, but he already missed all those marks doesn't count against cap.
