    He is a Jim Harbaugh type of back. Someone who never misses a game, doesn't fumble and can be a workhorse back.

    The question now is do the Steelers turn around and sign Dobbins.

    He's had his share of injuries, but dynamic when healthy.

    Really like Najee as a person. Wish him all the best.

    I am honestly happy for him. The guy was a workhorse for us. Great attitude and maximum effort. He had his faults, but none of them were from a lack of effort.....imo.

    To be honest?!


    Why not kick the tires on Jedrick Wills?! He didn't pan out at Left Tackle but he does have experience at Right Tackle. Should the team try him out as a swing?!

    I liked Harris, always appreciated his character and effort. I wish he would have developed into a feature back for us. Wish him the best moving forward.

    Having said that, I’m not sure he is worth $9+ million per year. The chargers only signed him for one year, which suggests they too want to see it before a long term commitment.

    Writing was on the wall ever since they passed on his option.

    He was saying his goodbyes to some of the players before today, makes sense that they didn’t make him an offer.

    Good luck to him in LA.

    You could leave it as is and throw it back to Bobby Lane, Hank Poteat, or William Gay.

    Wow, good news for my dynasty team. I have Harris and SD chargers, with running the ball Harbaugh, that's good for his outlook in 2025. I didn't think he was dynamic enough lead back on a team that is run-first, so glad he didn't resign with Steelers. In fairness to Najee, he was getting hit 3 yards in the backfield every 3rd or 4th carry, so not his fault, its our awful coaching and so-so OL talent (that is hopefully improving and getting younger).

    Lol. Steelers could have had him back for 6 million, I instead we currently have 2 RBs that couldn't break a 1,000 yards if you spotted them 200 yards every season. :facepalm:

    Great guy, respect his effort, but too slow, especially in the way they kept using him.

    Best of luck to him. I think some fans understated his value to the team as part of a Rb by committee. He was over drafted and the expectations of a 1st round pick dogged him for his entire career here.

    I would love to get Dobbins + a mid/late round rookie from this deep class. I like Warren doing what he’s doing, and don’t expect him to shoulder a feature back workload.
