In a very busy offseason featuring a number of additions and subtractions to the roster, the Pittsburgh Steelers have one key looming question this offseason regarding a key member of the roster: what to do with running back Najee Harris’ fifth-year option.
While GM Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin have publicly praised and thrown support behind Harris as a key fixture for the Steelers, they have not addressed the decision regarding the fifth-year option other than that they are working through it.
But for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo, he fully expects the Steelers to pick up the fifth-year option for the standout running back, especially because the offensive scheme under new coordinator Arthur Smith is a perfect fit for Harris and his style.
