The Steelers have neither Najee Harris nor Jaylen Warren under contract for 2025, though their circumstances are different. Harris is an unrestricted free agent, while Warren is a restricted free agent. That means the Steelers exercise greater control over Warren’s rights, but they could work out a new deal with either back before the start of free agency.
The prevailing view is that the Steelers will retain Warren and move on from Harris, their 2021 first-round pick. While Harris was a serviceable workhorse back, the time has come to commit money. The discrepancy between him and Warren isn’t so great.
