Would the Steelers risk giving Jaylen Warren the lowest restricted free-agent tender?
The Steelers are facing a situation where both Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren are free agents. Harris is an unrestricted free agent, though, while Warren is restricted. That means the Steelers still control Warren’s rights, but to a certain degree, and have protections against losing him.
Many believe the Steelers are prepared to move on from Harris and continue with Warren. But they have to keep Warren under contract in order to do that. The fact that he went undrafted complicates the restricted free agent tender question since it limits their protections.
