Steelers LB Proud of His Decision to Leave Struggling Ravens After Their Disastrous 1-3 Start

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ linebacker room has quietly become one of the most stable units in the AFC North. With veterans stepping up and the defense regaining its edge, one recent addition is starting to draw attention for both his impact and timing.

After leaving his previous team in the offseason, the veteran linebacker found himself watching from afar as his former squad stumbled through a rough 1-3 start. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh’s 3-1 record and strong locker-room chemistry are reinforcing what he calls “a culture built on real football.”

He’s been praised by teammates for his discipline, leadership, and adaptability — three traits that fit perfectly with Mike Tomlin’s defensive philosophy. During team drills and early-season reps, he’s consistently made his presence felt, both on special teams and as a rotational defender.

Now, as the Steelers prepare for another AFC North clash, the 26-year-old says he feels exactly where he’s supposed to be.

That player is Malik Harrison, who signed a two-year, $10 million contract with the Steelers back in March. A former Ravens linebacker, Harrison admitted he’s been keeping an eye on his old team’s early-season struggles — and the results have only strengthened his confidence in the decision he made:

“I’ve always respected how the Steelers play football – hard, physical, and with heart,” he said. “To put on this jersey now, it means a lot. I’m proud to be part of a team that plays for something bigger. I’ve seen what’s going on in Baltimore disastrous 1-3 Start, and I’m just glad to be here fighting for wins.”

For Pittsburgh, it’s another quiet victory in team-building — adding a player who not only understands the AFC North, but also carries extra motivation every time he faces his old colors.

Jerry Jones Speaks Out, Criticizes the Controversy Surrounding the Cowboys WR After the Loss to the Lions
DALLAS — Jerry Jones has finally had enough. In a fiery radio interview on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday morning, the Cowboys owner publicly ripped into star wide receiver George Pickens for his explosive, now-deleted Instagram beef with Richard Sherman following the Thanksgiving nightmare against the Detroit Lions. “I love everything George has done this year,” Jones said. “But let me be very clear — I don’t want to see him sitting on Instagram arguing with Richard Sherman or anybody else. Put the phone down, stop the social media nonsense, and focus on playing football. That’s what we pay him for.” Mic drop. The 82-year-old owner rarely calls out his own players by name in public, making this one of the sharpest rebukes in recent Cowboys history. Quick recap of the chaos: Lions game: CeeDee Lamb gets hurt and leaves early → Pickens disappears with a miserable 5 catches for 37 yards. Richard Sherman goes on TV and says Pickens “quit on routes” and showed zero effort. Pickens claps back with a savage (and quickly deleted) Instagram story: “Old man still talking.” Internet explodes. Despite the ugly performance, Pickens still leads the Cowboys in every major receiving stat (78 receptions, 1,179 yards, 8 TDs), but Jerry Jones just drew a line in the sand: the social media wars end today. “I have zero concern about George competing and helping us win games on the field,” Jones continued. “My only concern is him wasting time and energy on this Instagram back-and-forth instead of turning the page.” Will this public dressing-down light a fire under Pickens… or pour gasoline on an already raging controversy? One thing is certain — every snap this Sunday will be scrutinized like never before. Is Jerry Jones right to go nuclear on his star WR? Or did he just make the drama ten times worse?
