With the Pittsburgh Steelers roller-coaster of a season coming to an end in the wild-card round on Saturday, star running back Najee Harris, 26, may be looking to disembark and find himself a new ride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In postgame interviews following the loss to Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens \u2014 the Steelers\u2019 fifth consecutive defeat to close out the season \u2014 Prime Video\u2019s Taylor Rooks says Harris was \u201cvisibly frustrated but candid.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t the only one.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Harris] said that the guys have been saying things in the locker room that he didn\u2019t necessarily want to say on camera, [but] that he felt like, throughout the losing streak, a lot of guys were letting what the media was saying infiltrate the locker room, and he wanted to see how they responded today,\u201d Rooks reported after Saturday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe closed his media availability [answering the] question, \u2018Have you put much thought into whether you want to stay with the Steelers?\u2019 And he said \u2018I have not put much thought in that at all.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Harris \u2014 who is set to hit free agency after Pittsburgh declined his fifth-year option ahead of the 2024 season \u2014 was noticeably quiet in the Steelers\u2019 28-14 loss, amassing just 58 yards from scrimmage.<\/p>\n
No one on the offensive side of the ball had a particularly impressive day, but Harris\u2019 meager 17 yards rushing represented a particularly poor performance.<\/p>\n
During the regular season, the fourth-year back collected over 1,000 yards on the ground (for the fourth consecutive season) and another 283 through the air, plus six total touchdowns and zero turnovers. His 4.4 yards per touch was the most since his Pro Bowl rookie campaign,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harris doesn\u2019t flash the same explosiveness as some of the league\u2019s other preeminent backs, but he is a former first-round pick and, having never missed a start during his Steelers tenure, uber-reliable at a notoriously unreliable position.<\/p>\n
The Steelers may be willing to let him walk in free agency given the steady emergence of Jaylen Warren, the third-year back out of Oklahoma State who steadily dug into Harris\u2019 workload throughout the 2024 campaign. <\/p>\n
A new second-string back, then, could be found in the open market or among the talent in the upcoming draft class.<\/p>\n
Major decisions loom elsewhere up and down the Steelers depth chart \u2014 nowhere more so than under center. <\/p>\n
The Russell Wilson experiment worked until it didn\u2019t, though the veteran, despite his recently expired contract, \u201cloves\u201d the city and \u201chopes\u201d he\u2019s still employed there next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another proven and perhaps-available veteran in Aaron Rodgers might be appealing given Pittsburgh\u2019s aging defensive core and closing championship window \u2014 if you can call it that. Or the Steel City can run it back with Justin Fields, hoping and praying that his early season successes weren\u2019t a fluke.<\/p>\n
At least head coach Mike Tomlin is in Pittsburgh to stay. Probably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
