[QUOTE="porky88, post: 105249, member: 489"] Exactly we don't have an answer yet. So speculating that Al Harris is mad at Ted Thompson is nothing but it is. Speculation. I think it's more about the money personally and judging from his reaction I think he has trouble dealing with criticism. McCarthy was never questioned about those players. If he was I sure hope he would say the same thing. Their inconsistent. In fact I've heard McCarthy call the whole team inconsistent before. McCarthy was asked about Al Harris' play on the field and not Brady Poppinga’s or Marquand Manuel's. Walker would be sitting right now. He would report come Week 10 and play for 6 weeks. He would be credited with this year and he would leave via free agency. Walker had a lot more leverage than Al Harris. I never said anything like that PERIOD If I thought that I would say it. It’s all about if a player has leverage and Harris doesn’t have the leverage Walker had. The fact is Harris in his 30's and is still on a rather long contract. Walker had a year left and is a young player that still has potential. The leverage Walker had is not there for Harris. Harris can't come into next season and sit out the year and come play Week 10 and on and get credited for a year and then leave. He has to do that for a couple of more years. By then he would into his mid 30's I believe and wouldn't have a chance at a big pay day. Walker is a young WR who could of done the exact same thing. Because he has a year left he could of reported by Week 10 and then left via Free Agency. He probably wouldn't of gotten a huge deal but a deal none the less. He then could play for a big pay day all over again with a different team and because of his age he likely could receive his money. When your in your mid 30's and your a CB, you won't be seeing any big paydays while you haven't played much in the last few years. The leverage Walker had doesn't work for Harris in this situation.
