Harris is second on the team all-time in tackles, with 1,251, (Kyle Clifton, with 1,468, holds the record). He's a respected locker room presence and a leader on the field, with head coach Todd Bowles, according to the New York Post, referring to Harris as "the glue" of the defense.

The move allows Harris to chase a ring with the Patriots, while it gives New England another dominant player at linebacker.
