In a significant development, Najee Harris visited the Seattle Seahawks for a free agent meeting on March 25, 2026. This comes after a challenging season where Harris suffered a torn Achilles, which cut his 2025 season short with the Los Angeles Chargers in Week Three.
During his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Harris had an impressive track record, achieving over 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first four seasons. He notably rushed for a career-high 1,200 yards and seven touchdowns in 2021, earning a Pro Bowl selection as a rookie.
Harris, who was selected by the Steelers with the No. 24 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, is also the all-time leading rusher at the University of Alabama, where he was a two-time national champion and a consensus first-team All-American in 2020.
The Seahawks are in need of depth at the running back position after Kenneth Walker left for the Kansas City Chiefs as a free agent, and Zach Charbonnet is currently recovering from a torn ACL. The team recently signed Emanuel Wilson to a one-year deal, but Harris’s experience and skill set could be a valuable addition.
In his last season, Harris ran 15 times for 61 yards and caught three passes for 25 yards, showcasing his versatility despite the injury setback. Over his career, he has accumulated 4,373 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns.
As the free agency period unfolds, Harris’s meeting with the Seahawks marks a crucial step in his pursuit of a new team. The urgency of the situation is palpable as he aims to bounce back from his injury and return to form.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the outcome of the meeting, but the interest from the Seahawks indicates they are exploring options to bolster their backfield.
