Defensive tackle Damon Harrison was turned down by one NFC division champion on Tuesday and another claimed him on Wednesday.

The Packers claim that Harrison claimed. He was with the Seahawks but asked to get rid of his contract as the team reduced its role to give younger players time.

Harrison signed with the practice squad in October and has played in Seattle’s last six games. He had nine tackles and a forced whisper in that appearance.

Harrison said in a tweet on Tuesday that he plans to play for a different team this year than he ‘can work out the logistics thereof. He added that he would not do ‘the waiver’ and that the position would now be put to the test.

UPDATE 17:40 ET: Harrison responded to a user on Twitter who thought there were teams that Harrison would be willing to play for if he claimed pardons by writing ‘Bingo’. This suggests that Harrison will be bound to Wisconsin.
