The Pittsburgh Steelers have the opportunity to reshape their running back room, if they so choose. Najee Harris is an unrestricted free agent, Jaylen Warren is restricted, and Cordarrelle Patterson is a potential salary cap casualty. Perhaps they hoped Patterson could add some speed to the backfield in 2024, but that was not the case.
Yet that is what the Steelers’ backfield needs this offseason, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette argues. “I want a guy who could break some long runs. There’s a bunch of guys who could do that in this draft,” he said on 93.
