The Pittsburgh Steelers declined Najee Harris’ fifth-year option at the beginning of May and forced an early contract season for him in 2024. Unless he has a monster season to prompt a franchise tag, the Steelers are likely to let him hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent. Will they be players in that market to try and sign him to a long-term deal? Pittsburgh Post-Gazette insider Ray Fittipaldo doesn’t think so.
He was asked during his Tuesday Steelers chat via Post-Gazette if he thinks the plan is to re-sign Harris after the season or find a cheaper option.
