Chargers agreed to terms with RB Najee Harris, formerly of the Steelers, to a one-year contract.
The deal was reported to be in the works earlier this evening and the ink should be dry later this week. It’s slightly surprising to see Harris only land a one-year deal, but the bruising back can make “up to” $9.25 in 2025 and then hit the open market again next year. Harris will take over as the Chargers’ top option with JK Dobbins yet to be re-signed by the team and Gus Edwards released ahead of free agency. Harris topped 1,000 rushing yards in all four seasons with the Steelers but hasn’t pushed past 1,043 yards since his rookie season. There isn’t much upside for the Chargers with this signing, but Harris is a competent runner who can handle the grind of the NFL season, something none of LA’s backs managed in 2025. With more touchdown opportunities than he saw in Pittsburgh, Harris could stick at the back of the RB2 fantasy ranks if he avoids major competition for touches via the draft.
