Najee Harris is heading west in 2025, agreeing to a deal with the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency, according to reports.
Harris is signing a one-year deal worth up to $9.5 million, per ESPN.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers running back has only known the Steel City in his NFL career after arriving as a first-round draft pick in 2021. He’s been a solid contributor for the black-and-gold, seemingly embodying everything the Steelers love in a football player.
A tough runner, Harris is light in the speed and explosiveness departments. Despite that, he has still run for at least 1,000 yards in all four seasons as a pro.
Harris will bring a durability to the Chargers’ backfield, having never missed a game in his NFL career.
The 27-year-old has one Pro Bowl appearance, but does come with some mileage concerns. He’s touched the ball over 200 times in each of the last six seasons, dating back to his final two years at Alabama.
For a Chargers team hoping to continue adding to their tough running identity, Harris is a logical fit. However, they could still easily find their explosive complement back in the draft.
