Najee coming back to Pittsburgh according to Dulac.

"Well, I would tell you there will be no hometown discount," Dulac wrote in his recent Steelers Chat. "But I think the chances are better he returns than not."

That would be silly of the FO. They could've picked up his option for $6.7M, then decided on a contract value next offseason.

It's Dulac, so I'll take it with a grain of salt.

Hell, I was going to say that every time Jaylen gets the ball for more than 10 carries he appears on the teams next injury report.

As I pointed out, I think what Henry and Barkley have done for their new teams this year is going to reset the RB market. Najee will get his $12 million this year from some team that is looking to do what Philadelphia and Baltimore have done this year.

Henry got $8M a year

Why would anyone sign a lesser back for $12M

I like Najee and would be fine with a reasonable deal. I just don’t think he is going to get the payday he believes he will, especially with a depressed market for RBs.

My guess..... 3 years $30 million???

Why would they do that

They turned down his option for less so they could pay more for him now? If Najee comes back here it will be for a very low contract.

Man, I didn't see this coming. I think Najee needs to explore his FA options.
If this is true just goes to show you how inept the Steelers really are. It pains
me to say this about my hometown team one that I have followed for over 55 years.

Agree completely

IF they resign him it's pathetic

There are likely 10 RBs in this draft far superior to Harris. Yikes

Because Najee is 5 years younger than Henry?

Henry was a free agent 30+ year old RB looking for a home.
