my views on released players at this time of the year is, while they can be brought in as backups to solidify rosters, for the most part, they aren't going to start for you and were released for a good reason such as diminishing skills.
have no clue about this guy but with the thing with fairley I think bringing in "some" help should be considered, not expecting the roster we have to be filled with next man up caliber talent

They need to sign him ASAP. He is a good LB who still got another 2 years in the tank.

We can see something similar to what Carolina had a couple years ago adding veterans to fill out the talented youth. (Peanut, Finnegan, Allen)
I'm all for adding veterans on their last breath. Window is closing.

you need to bring more than this to the table to crack breauxmeaux's top 10.

It'd be like the Vilma signing a few years back

Per PFF:
- Harris earned a 77.6 PFF overall grade in 2016 which ranked 35th out of 87 qualifying linebackers. Harris was much better in 2016 than his likely replacements Darron Lee and Demario Davis who earned 38.3 and 58.4 grades, respectively.
- He will be missed in coverage where Davis allowed one reception per 11.1 snaps in coverage compared to Lee’s one reception per 7.2 snaps in coverage.
- Harris was the Jets most reliable tackler, missing a tackle once every 15.5 tackle attempts, better Davis, who missed a tackle once every 10.3 attempts.
We need to bring him in. I'd take him over Te'o easily.

On the surface he looks good. It certainly is early enough that I think you could jettison another LB if need be for roster management. Particularly if a clear upgrade at a reasonable contract can be had.
The larger question is his age/performance. I don't think many Saints LBs were in his #35 PFF range. His 80% still might be better than some we have. BUT we know when players hit the wall, the decline can be staggering. A good team player so ya gotta wonder why the Jets axed him.

Insiders tell me recent cuts by NY Jets coming from Woody Johnson. Owner concludes team will be awful in '17 with/without high $$$ veterans
--maybe it is just flat out housecleaning to rebuild. Give him a call

I would call him, why not.
Side note, the jets are gonna be god awful this year, glad we play them. I think we sweep the AFC East and yes, that includes beating the Pats at home week 2.

Even the Browns are saying this year's Jets roster might be the worst seen in the NFL for a decade
