Once the Pittsburgh Steelers declined the fifth-year option of $6.79 million for running back Najee Harris last May, that seemed to be the final nail in the coffin of the career in the Black and Gold for Harris.
Despite him rushing for 1,000 yards in four straight seasons, that move to decline the fifth-year option and make him a free agent after the end of the 2024 season seemed to put the writing on the wall for Harris.
But according to the Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac, that might not be the case. After stating to readers in his chat Thursday that the chances Harris would return to Pittsburgh were better than not, Dulac followed up Friday with an article for the Post-Gazette stating that there’s a “strong possibility” that Harris could re-sign with the Steelers before the start of free agency.
