Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Chargers are signing veteran RB Najee Harris to a one-year contract worth up to $9.5 million.
The Chargers are reportedly working to close a deal with Harris and it looks like they were able to get it over the finish line.
The Chargers are clearly overhauling their running backs room after releasing Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins currently a free agent.
Harris is arguably the best available running back this offseason so this could be a big addition for Los Angeles.
Harris, 27, was a two-year starter at Alabama and was a first-team All-American and a Doak Walker Award winner as a senior. The Steelers took Harris with pick No. 24 in the 2021 draft.
Harris signed a four-year, $13,047,447 with the Steelers that includes a $6,849,053 signing bonus. The Steelers declined his fifth-year option for 2025, which would’ve cost them $6.79 million fully guaranteed, and set him up to be an unrestricted free agent in 2025.
In 2024, Harris appeared in all 17 games for the Steelers and recorded 263 rushing attempts for 1,043 yards (4.0 YPC) and six touchdowns, to go along with 36 receptions for 283 yards (7.9 YPC).
We have him included in our Top 100 2025 NFL Free Agents list.
