INDIANAPOLIS -- Receving great Marvin Harrison has asked the Colts for his release after the sides could not agree on a restructured contract, NFL.com reported.
Harrison's production declined last season, his 13th with the Colts. The team considered his $13.4 million salary cap number out of line, and Harrison reportedly declined to renegotiate.
Harrison has been one of the Colts' most identifiable players since their move to Indianapolis. He ranks No. 2 in the NFL in career receptions (1,102) and holds all of the franchise's major career and season receiving records.
Since being drafted by the Colts in 1996, Harrison has been a model of consistency.
He's made eight Pro Bowls and won a Super Bowl ring. His 14,550 yards rank fourth on the NFL's career list and he's No. 5 with 128 TD catches. Harrison and Peyton Manning also teamed to produce the most proficient passing tandem in league history.
But Manning has increasingly thrown more passes to Reggie Wayne, who has made the last three Pro Bowls, while Anthony Gonzalez, Indy's first-round draft pick in 2007, has made a push for more playing time.
NFL.com reported Harrison could be interested in joining the Eagles because he lives in Philadelphia and could reunite with former Syracuse teammate Donovan McNabb.
