Over the next 12 months, the Pittsburgh Steelers have two paths they could take when it comes to their running back philosophy. There’s the old-school approach of coveting the position. Drafting early, extending and keeping on the roster long-term. There’s the new-school approach of thinking the position is fungible. Draft late and never pay them big money.
Which direction will GM Omar Khan go? Right now, it could go either way.
After having his fifth-year option declined, RB Najee Harris is heading into the summer as a free agent after 2024. The Steelers could — as Khan has left the door open for — sign him to a long-term extension.
