Despite turning 38 next month, it appears James Harrison will be back with the Steelers.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Tuesday that Harrison will return for a 14th season in the NFL. A five-time Pro Bowl linebacker, Harrison played in 15 games last season, totaling 40 tackles and five sacks.

Harrison, who was named 2008 NLF Defensive Player of the Year, has spent all but one season with the Steelers, playing with the Bengals in 2013. Despite the report, Harrison's agent told the paper that "nothing has changed" in terms of his decision to play and "it's a long way until August."

If Harrison officially decides to return, he's under contract for $1.5 million in 2016.
