Buy Or Sell: The Steelers should decline RB Najee Harris’ fifth-year option.

Explanation: The salary cap jumped substantially, and it’s likely to do the same next year. Najee Harris’ fifth-year option price checks in at $6,790,000, and it’s guaranteed for 2025 the moment the Steelers exercise it. While he takes a beating, he is primarily productive through volume. Jaylen Warren is a more explosive and well-rounded player and one you may prefer to pay more.
