Based on the way the Pittsburgh Steelers have very clearly been built to play, and how running back Najee Harris has performed through his first three seasons in the NFL, recording three-straight 1,000-yard seasons making Steelers’ history, the fifth-year option on Harris’ contract should be an easy decision.
However, Steelers’ GM Omar Khan, speaking to local reporters Thursday from the NFL Scouting Combine, stated that the Steelers are having plenty of discussions with head coach Mike Tomlin and new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith regarding the future of the Steelers’ offense, which includes a decision on Harris’ fifth-year option.
