The Pittsburgh Steelers decided they will not be picking up Najee Harris' fifth-year option despite him producing three straight 1,000-yard seasons since entering the league.
The Pittsburgh Steelers surprisingly decided to decline Najee Harris’ fifth-year option Wednesday, which will make him an unrestricted free agent after the season. Harris is coming off his third straight 1,000-yard rushing season with the Steelers, totaling 1,035 yards with a career-high eight rushing touchdowns in 17 games.
