Najees Market Set

this explains a lot about the position and why they may be taking a wait and see approach.

You made the claim. You are refusing to back it up, so don't bother. You already lost the argument.

 

It provides numbers for things we already know, so that doesn't change the argument at all. The wait-and-see approach could leave them shorthanded, as it is doing at receiver this year, or spending more resources on the position than they would have had to if they had just picked up the option.

But hey, with that glut of running backs who are mediocre or worse ready to hit free agency, they can play the scrap heap at running back next year just as they did at receiver this offseason. Exciting stuff!

 

KMA

 

Took a break from the MB for a bit. Nice to see that nothing has changed around here

 

Most likely a qb too

 

Not my thing, but ask around and perhaps someone will oblige.

 

It seems you have that difficulty in comparison to quite a few posters. Keep working. Maybe you'll get there.

 

Be Best

 

I strive to one day be as big of an arrogant prick as you

You have years of experience. Greatness takes time

 

You can do it

 

It also takes intelligence, so...

 

Bring on Anthony Mcfarland then!!!! Say what you want, but Najee is out there every week putting up numbers adding to his total yards rushing, and 99% of the feature backs in the NFL can't say that.


And how many of those have rushed for over 1,000 in every year for the last 3 years..... ZERO.



Eventually someone is going to notice that Najee is starting to put together a HOF career. He goes for over 1,000 yards again this season people will scratch their head and ask why is Najee playing for the Bengals next year, and 15 years later, they will pound their head into a brick wall when Najee enters the HOF as a Bengal.

 

HOF career - NEVER in this lifetime, sorry Brice. Slow, poor vision, best years behind him. What people see is utterly amazing......

 

Brice's contention that Harris is going to the Hall of Fame was silly, but best years behind him? Harris just had his best season. With the upgraded play-calling and hopefully improved play at quarterback and the offensive line, Harris could easily have his best season in 2025.

 

Did you really just say Najee Harris and HOF in the same sentence?? Good Lord

 

Many backs have several good years and then fall off. It happens all the time. Those hits and carries add up over time. Nobody is saying najee is a bad running back. Maybe they are banking on signing him but they want to see where he is after 4 years and a heavy load before they invest. I don't know that for sure and neither does anyone else. Omar will make that call when he's ready I guess.

 

Call me crazy, but I like my chances this year. I really think Arthur Smith will turn Najee into his next Derrick Henry.

 

Douche better

 

If he looks good after this season, he's probably going to cost more than $7 million and it will probably take more than a one-year commitment, which would be a bad idea after four years of a heavy workload. The one-year deal at a reasonable rate wasn't a bargain, but it was the best option.

 

they want to see how they function in this offense. just as i have been saying. no need to sign them until they know. it's not like there will never be another good RB for the steelers.

maybe it will be our current duo, maybe it won't.

 

I agree that this could be a GREAT year for Najee - but he is now splitting time w Warren

I guess....we....will....see.

I HOPE HE TEARS IT UP!!!!!

 

I do, too, but it was odd to say a guy's best years are behind him when he is coming off a career year and heading into what could be a better one.

After year five, however, I'd be willing to bet his best years will be behind him.

I'm curious to see how they split the carries. Harris carried the ball 156 more times than Warren last season, so it's not like it is an even split.
