The Pittsburgh Steelers declined RB Najee Harris’ option in May, meaning that 2024 could be his last season as a member of the team. Speaking to reporters at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa. with players reporting for training camp, Harris said he was disappointed for a couple of days, but he quickly moved on.

“I was disappointed for a minute, but I mean it’s nothing really where me sitting around and being disappointed for too long would do anything to help me out. I think, it is what it is and you got to keep pushing and knowing that coming out here and doing what’s best for the team and having a good year is what’s most important now.
