Well since they are still in a lockout it's not like they can cut or trade him, which is still a possibility.
"On July 13, 2011, a very controversial magazine article titled "James Harrison: Confessions of an NFL Hitman" was published by Paul Solotaroff in Men's Journal.[40] In this article the Steelers linebacker James Harrison was asked multiple questions about who he is and why he plays the game of football the way he does. The controversy comes into play when James Harrison begins talking about the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Harrison called Goodell a "crook and a puppet", and then proceeded to say that "I hate him and will never respect him.” Harrison also made comments towards his quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, and other players in the National Football League such as Brian Cushing. Harrison released an apology for his statements on July 14, 2011.[41] Harrison apologized for his gay slur that was aimed towards Goodell and stated that his comments about his teammates were lost in context."
Also he said If that man(NFL Commish Goodell) was on fire and I had to piss to put him out, I wouldn't do it....... Yeah.. context is everything with a statement like that.
