Not a huge surprise. I hope he catches on with someone.

The Packers have decided against tendering DuJuan Harris a contract for next season.

This dude was gonna be our version of "Darren Sproles." Seems like he fell off the face of the Earth along with Bostick.

I think Lacy and Starks had something to do with Harris not getting many chances.

Frank Gore just balked at signing with Philly, Kelly is going to be looking for a R now,RB could Harris will get a call?

He will find job somewhere.

Good guy with talent.

If the market is soft out there, which it appears it might be (think Murray) then it is possible that he may be brought back.

If not.. hope the young man catches on with a club.. impressive initial burst.

Hope he catches on with a team outside the NFC North. I don't want to sound critical, but he seemed like a guy we missed the boat on. I don't think we got the most out of him that we could have. Maybe I am guilty of over-evaluating his talent, but he seemed like a guy that could have been used as a nice compliment to Lacy. Like others I envisioned that Sproles type of back and have him as a screen weapon. Perhaps Starks made him redundant, but it seemed a waste to have him primarily in the return game where he was less talented than Hyde.

Just because a RB is small doesn't mean they're in through Sproles mold... Sproles doesn't have Harris toughness or power to run up the middle with a tiny hole (and Harris did have power... not compared to Lacy but compared to other guys his size he did). And Harris doesn't move or catch the ball like Sproles.

If you want a Sproles type, then hope the Packers sign RB Reggie Bush...

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score
