Najee Harris is preparing for taking four year old careers 1000 yards for free agency

Running Water Najee Harris entered league 2021. as the first round of selection of Steeler. He’s going to the free agency now.

Whether Steelers will sign again remains to be seen. Their exclusive negotiating window shrinks by hour.

After three flat seasons of 1000 yards, they decided not to perform the Fifth Year option, to $ 6.79 million. He had another 1,000 yard seasons 2024. years.

Steelers could apply the franchise. According to applicable estimates, it will probably be north of 13.5 million dollars in a year – more than twice as much as one would be the fifth year option.

So would you dare to let him breathe, a year post-Saquon Barkuley? (And post-deerrick henry and post-josh jacobs?) The difference is, honestly, that the three showed that the incision was above the rest of the jogging in the game. If Steelers do not believe that Harris falls into the same category, they will be prone to ride Jaylen Warren and back-charged through a free agency or draft.

It is a calculated risk. Although Harris is missing as the best door they own is, it is reliable. And durable. He never missed the game. It has 1,277 contact career, on average 319.25 per season.

Yes, his career average is 3.8 meters per carry. But he gets heavy yards. And he brings edge and toughness that can permeate the rest of the offense.

Throw in motivation that would come from Steeler to keep him around, and Harris could provide a nice return on investment. And they will probably benefit from the fact that running back, like a milker, returns to style. With several options without a high agent in position, Harris could be one of those players who in principle has a deal that would not be long after the negotiating window opens next month.

Unless Steelers don’t move fast. Especially with the A / K / A Commanding Central reconnaissant combination starts next week.
