The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to sign former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris to a one-year deal. The contract has a base value of $5.25 million, with the potential to reach up to $9.25 million if Harris meets certain rushing yard incentives. Harris, who has rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of his four NFL seasons, will join the Chargers as they look to bolster their running game. His signing comes after the team parted ways with running back Gus Edwards and with J.K. Dobbins becoming a free agent. Harris's durability is highlighted by his record of forcing 63 missed tackles last season and a total of 285 missed tackles since entering the league in 2021. The move to Los Angeles reunites Harris with Jim Harbaugh, who had tried to recruit him out of high school. Harris, ranked 41st in free agent rankings, has been a consistent performer for the Steelers since being drafted in the first round in 2021. His reliability and ability to force missed tackles, including 70 in 2024, are expected to be key assets for the Chargers.
