What to do with Najee Harris’ fifth-year option is one of the big questions the Pittsburgh Steelers faced this offseason. Somewhat surprisingly, they chose to decline the option, setting him on a course for unrestricted free agency in March. While they can still re-sign him then, or even extend him now, Ray Fittipaldo doesn’t see it happening.
Indeed, while he sort of painted the Rhamondre Stevenson contract as the death knell, Fittipaldo went further in talking to Christopher Carter on the North Shore Drive podcast. In so many words, they made up their minds about Harris long before the New England Patriots set their market.
