The Los Angeles chargers did well by adding veteran runners in the free agency last season, and that trend continues this year too.
According to the reports, Najee Harris, the former first round of the Pittsburgh Steelers, agreed to a one -year agreement to address Los Angeles for a value of up to $ 9.5 million, according to multiple reports.
The Chargers had JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards, both signings of free agents, leading the way in the field during the 2024 season. They ended up averaging 110.7 yards on the ground per game (17 in the league) and helped establish the tone for an offensive directed by Justin Herbert.

For Dobbins specifically, it had a resurgual season after years of injuries that end the season, running for 905 yards in 195 attempts with nine touchdowns.
The Chargers have one of the best offensive lines of the NFL, and Harris, running for more than 1,000 yards in each of its first four seasons of the NFL, seems to be a recipe for success in the role for chief coach Jim Harbaugh, who is a Stickler for a good career game.

Despite being the first round of the team in the NFL 2021 draft, and having the success it has in four seasons, the Steelers did not collect their fifth year option in the 2024 campaign, which means that it was ready for free agency.
However, Harris did not let that damage its production, running for 1,043 yards in 263 hauls (4.0 yards per haul) with six touchdowns on the ground.

However, Harris hauls for hauling have been a topic of debate, since he has rushed for only 3.9 yards per touch about his Steelers career. Pittsburgh seems to want new blood that can be more explosive than Harris, and also have Tyler Warren, a versatile back, on the list still.
This movement for Harris is not only a test scenario, since being the contract is for a season, but also returns to California, where he grew up playing in the Bay area before signing with Alabama for the university ball.
Harris’s time with Crimson Tide made him one of the main runners in the 2021 Draft class, since he ran for 6.0 yards for hauling and helped Alabama win two national titles. He also ran for 1,466 yards with 26 touchdowns by land during his senior season, consolidating his place as one of the best rookies to enter the NFL at that time.

Over four seasons, Harris has run for 4,312 yards with 28 touchdowns, while getting 180 trapped for 1,149 yards and six more scores.
