Pittsburgh Steelers re-sign James Harrison on two-year deal

The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced that they have re-signed veteran linebacker James Harrison on two-year deal.

The 36-year-old announced his retirement from the NFL after the 2013 season, but was lured back to the league by the Steelers due to an injury crisis and performed well in their surge to the playoffs.

Harrison was sought after on the free-agent market by the Steelers and the Tennessee Titans, leaving the veteran to mull his options, but after a few days of thought he decided to return to Heinz Field.

The linebacker recorded 45 tackles and 5.5 sacks for the Steelers in 11 matches last season.
