The Pittsburgh Steelers made the difficult decision to decline RB Najee Harris’ fifth-year option on Thursday, just minutes before the deadline. Reports indicated that the Steelers wanted to see how Arthur Smith’s system fits the RB duo of Harris and Warren prior to tying themselves to one of them long term. Former Steelers CB Ike Taylor thinks this will be a good thing for both Harris and the Steelers.
“He’s gonna go crazy. Just look at what our new OC Arthur Smith had did when he was over there with the Tennessee Titans,” Taylor said of Harris, via the Bleav In Steelers podcast posted on Apple Podcasts.
