Rumors of Marvin Harrison to Chicago likely are off base

Rumor surfaced Tuesday on WSCR in Chicago of an SUV with “Indy 88" tags at Halas Hall, the headquarters of the Chicago Bears.

As we understand it, a regular caller spotted the vehicle, prompting speculation that Harrison could soon be a Bear.

We’ve done a little homework (for a change), and a source with knowledge of the situation says that such a development would be a “shock.”

Though former Colts coach Tony Dungy has said that Marvin can still play, Dungy also has said that Marvin “does want to get paid,” and that likely continues to be the primary impediment to getting a deal done, in Chicago or anywhere else.

So while Harrison has not retired, his NFL career will continue only if he dramatically drops his asking price -- or if an NFL team suddenly decides to give him what he wants.
