NFL Rumors: Chris Harris Jr. Drawing Interest from Cowboys, Raiders, Jets, More

Free-agent cornerback Chris Harris Jr. is going to have a big market this offseason. 

According to Troy Renck of TheDenverChannel.com, the Dallas Cowboys, Las Vegas Raiders, Houston Texans, New York Jets and Detroit Lions all have interest in Harris. Per that report, the Denver Broncos' "stance continues to be to let Harris test market. There will be a market for him."

Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News added that Harris reportedly met with 24 teams at the NFL Scouting Combine last week. 

The 30-year-old is a four-time Pro Bowler and was a first-team All-Pro selection in the 2016 season. He posted 56 tackles (one for loss), an interception and a forced fumble in the 2019 campaign. The undrafted free agent out of Kansas would be an upgrade for plenty of teams and likely would come cheaper than a player like Byron Jones, who is younger (27). 

The Broncos fielded trade offers for Harris before the deadline in October, though he ultimately remained with the team.

"I'm definitely happy," he said about remaining in Denver at the time, per Mike Klis of 9News. "Now I can just play ball and get this behind me and focus on finishing strong the rest of the year. Try and get some wins."

Free agency may be a different story, however.

"I think everybody deserves to see what they're worth, and I deserve it at this point," he said about testing the market in an interview with Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic and Justin Adams on 104.3 The Fan in February. "I think I worked my tail off for nine years, I gave the city every ounce of effort that I could give and, shoot, it's time to see what everybody else thinks about me."

When asked about returning to Denver, however, he added: "If they want me back, then I'll be back."

And if they don't, it appears plenty of teams will have interest in signing the veteran cornerback.
