Harrison, who spent his first 10 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, signed with the Bengals last April. In 15 games with Cincinnati, the five-time Pro Bowler had 30 tackles, two sacks and one interception.
“It’s time for us to go a different direction now, with some younger guys, but we will all still reap benefits from having had James with us as a Bengal last year,” Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said in a released statement.
Harrison was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2008.
