After seven years with the Chicago Bears, free agent defensive tackle Tommie Harris is heading to the AFC.

Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Harris and the Indianapolis Colts reached an agreement on a one-year deal Tuesday. The financial details weren’t immediately made available.

When he’s playing up to his potential, Harris is a fairly effective 4-3 defensive tackle who has flashed the ability to get after the quarterback (8.0 sacks in 2007). But the 28-year-old’s numbers have been in decline the last few years, with Harris hitting a career-low six starts and only 1.5 sacks in 2010.
