James Harrison appears to be making a tour of the AFC North in an attempt to join one of the Pittsburgh Steelersâ rivals.
The outspoken linebacker is visiting the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, according to a person informed of the meeting between the sides. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because the team doesnât comment on free-agent visits.
Harrison was to meet with the Baltimore Ravens recently and was in Baltimore but did not meet with the team because the Ravens reached an agreement with Elvis Dumervil instead.

No thank you...keep on trucking into retirement you spearing fool!
The Bengals don't need anymore old vets passed their prime. Youth has gotten this squad to the playoffs two years straight and youth will enable more growth and development, all pun intended.
Go spear retirement and enjoy life after football!

Im happier with Dumervil, because the upside is so much bigger, but Harrison is a good player, and is a good pickup.
I was hoping the Ravens woud make room for him.

No, he will be suspended for the year for Spearing with his head one of the cheerleaders....

Looks like the Bengals will sign Harrison....
The Cincinnati Bengals and former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison will try to complete a deal this week, a source familiar with situation told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Gregory Shamus/Getty ImagesJames Harrison has long been a thorn in the side of AFC North quarterbacks, such as the Bengals' Andy Dalton, pictured. He might soon be a player Ben Roethlisberger has to worry about as well.
Harrison and former Miami Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby each visited Cincinnati last week, and while the Bengals are interested in Dansby, a deal with Harrison seems more attainable and realistic at this time.
The Bengals have a need at outside linebacker, as 2012 starter Manny Lawson signed with the Buffalo Bills this offseason.
The 34-year-old Harrison, who was set to make $6.57 million in 2013, was released by the Steelers last month after refusing to take a pay cut. His agent said his client would be open to a return to the Steelers, but the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that the team is not interested in a reunion.
Harrison was meeting with the Baltimore Ravens on the same day Baltimore reached agreement with linebacker Elvis Dumervil, which ended the team's interest in signing Harrison. Otherwise he has received little interest from teams looking for a linebacker.
Harrison missed the first three games of the 2012 season with a minor knee injury but was one of Pittsburgh's steadiest performers over the second half of the year. He finished with six sacks, tied for the team lead, and a pair of forced fumbles as the Steelers finished No. 1 in total defense for the fourth time since Harrison became a starter.
He has 64 career sacks and was named The Associated Press' Defensive Player of the Year in 2008 after finishing with a career-best 16 sacks.
