Najee Harris’ Steelers future in doubt as he hints at locker room discord
NY Post
With the Pittsburgh Steelers roller-coaster of a season coming to an end in the wild-card round on Saturday, star running back Najee Harris, 26, may be looking to disembark and find himself a new ride.
In postgame interviews following the loss to Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens — the Steelers’ fifth consecutive defeat to close out the season — Prime Video’s Taylor Rooks says Harris was “visibly frustrated but candid.”
He wasn’t the only one.
“[Harris] said that the guys have been saying things in the locker room that he didn’t necessarily want to say on camera, [but] that he felt like, throughout the losing streak, a lot of guys were letting what the media was saying infiltrate the locker room, and he wanted to see how they responded today,” Rooks reported after Saturday’s game.
“He closed his media availability [answering the] question, ‘Have you put much thought into whether you want to stay with the Steelers?’ And he said ‘I have not put much thought in that at all.’”
Harris — who is set to hit free agency after Pittsburgh declined his fifth-year option ahead of the 2024 season — was noticeably quiet in the Steelers’ 28-14 loss, amassing just 58 yards from scrimmage.
This is the Knicks right now. This is the team. These are the players. This is reality, for now and for at least a couple of weeks as Jalen Brunson’s right ankle continues to be safeguarded in a walking boot. The Knicks are taking the long view with Brunson, as they should. He’s done some light shooting. He still needs heavy healing.
