Running back Najee Harris could be entering his final year with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac reported the Steelers will not pick up Harris’ fifth-year option. That means he will become an unrestricted free agent after the 2024 season.
“Steelers declined option year on RB Najee Harris, per sources,” wrote Dulac on X (formerly Twitter).
The decision was a surprise to many Steelers reporters and writers.
“A miscalculation in my option,” wrote Christopher Carter on X.
Steelers Depot’s Alex Kozora and The Score’s Daniel Valente argued why they also saw the decision as a miscalculation.
“I get that Najee Harris isn’t a big play runner (he never has been) but I don’t know what more he could’ve done to get his option picked up,” wrote Kozora.
“Didn’t expect this from Pittsburgh.”
