One of the biggest questions entering the 2024 offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers front office is whether they would pick up RB Najee Harris’ fifth-year option.
That was answered on May 2nd, when in a bit of a surprise, the team declined to pick it up. If the option had been exercised, the black and gold would have owed Harris just 6.79 million in 2025 - a number that certainly wouldn’t have broken the bank.
Harris rushed for over 1,000 yards in his first three seasons and has been incredibly reliable - suiting up in 17 games in each of those campaigns.
