Najee Harris to the Bears? 5 potential landing spots for the veteran RB post-Steelers
Najee Harris to the Bears? 5 potential landing spots for the veteran RB post-Steelers
The spearhead of the Pittsburgh Steelers' rushing attack over the past four years has undoubtedly been RB Najee Harris. However, Harris could soon be forced to find a new home if the Steel City opts to look elsewhere in free agency or the draft for a starting running back. His four consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons may garner heavy interest on the free-agent market. If Harris' time is up with the Pittsburgh Steelers, here are five potential landing spots.
With Nick Chubb's injury history and free agency looming, the Browns could target their AFC North rival's running back, Najee Harris, to restore stability to their once-great backfield.
With J.K. Dobbins potentially leaving in free agency, Najee Harris could step in as the Chargers' new lead back in Los Angeles, returning to his roots in California.
The Raiders clearly regretted letting Josh Jacobs walk in 2024, cycling through four different starting RBs—Najee Harris would bring much-needed consistency.
With Rico Dowdle likely testing free agency and Ezekiel Elliott long gone, Najee Harris could be the missing piece in Dallas' offense alongside Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Jalen Tolbert.
Pairing Najee Harris with DeAndre Swift would give Chicago a one-two punch rivaling the Lions' elite duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.

Four-star DB Devin Jackson 'feels way better about Miami' after visit
Miami, despite being in-state for Devin Jackson, is a new program among his long list of contenders. The Hurricanes didn't offer until this spring, not long after the arrival of Will Harris from the rival Florida Gators -- where he had Jackson on board as a commitment last year. Advertisement A four-star out of Orlando (Fla.) The First Academy, the rising-senior took an official visit to Coral Gables over the weekend and admits Mario Cristobal's program is working its way up his list. "I got to see the character of the coaches and the players," Jackson said. "All that matters coming into a program and I feel like all of that checked a green box for me. I feel way better about Miami. "It's a great school with a great culture." In experiencing said culture, another former UF commitment under Harris was also on his official visit in Jaelen Waters. The Tampa-area standout has been committed to the Hurricanes since March. Advertisement Time with the duo creates more familiarity with The U. "Me and Waters knew each other since we were at Florida together," Jackson said. "He knows how great of a coach he (Harris) is. It's still the same love with Harris. He says I'm still a major priority to him and Coach Cristobal. It's just the relationship we've built."

Penn State will earn an official visit during next week before Nebraska wraps up the slate beginning June 20. Advertisement Miami was once outside of that group of contenders, but it no longer appears to be the case. "Miami is close to home and the culture and everything at Miami is just great," Jackson said. A verbal commitment will come this summer, between late June and mid August as the top-20 safety projection gets into evaluation mode when the trips are each completed. "I'm taking my time with it," he said. "Not rushing anything. Either August or if I know where I'm going after officials I'll commit in July. "I have to see after my official visits where it weighs out." Marcus Benjamin contributed to this report.

Aaron Rodgers says continuing to play football was ‘best for my soul' as he reveals he's now married
After months of speculation, Aaron Rodgers finally signed a deal to become the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback last week and set up another fascinating chapter in his Hall of Fame career. The 41-year-old inked a one-year, $13.6 million dollar contract with the Steelers in an attempt to bring Super Bowl success back to a franchise which has gone 16 years without a Vince Lombardi Trophy and 14 years since their last appearance in the season-ending game; coincidentally, it was Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers who beat the Steelers in their last Super Bowl appearance in 2011. On his first day of mandatory minicamp in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Rodgers said that despite being the oldest quarterback in the league, he's still playing because it's what he wants to do. 'For my ego, I don't need it to keep playing,' Rodgers told reporters. 'A lot of decisions that I've made over my career and life from strictly the ego – even if they turn out well – are always unfulfilling. 'But the decisions made from the soul are usually pretty fulfilling. So this was a decision that was best for my soul. I felt like being here with coach (Mike Tomlin) and the guys they got here and the opportunity here was best for me. I'm excited to be here.' Rodgers' signing saga divided many given the length of time it took – most notably, Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw said he didn't want the former Packers and New York Jets star anywhere near the team – but with the four-time NFL MVP at the helm, the Steelers look a formidable outfit. He is coming off two disappointing seasons with the Jets, including one which was lost to a torn Achilles tendon just four plays into his first year with the franchise. Although he failed to have the success his signing was meant to bring to Gang Green, Rodgers still showed glimpses of producing like a top-level quarterback last year. Now, he joins up with Tomlin and an offense led by wide receiver DK Metcalf, who joined in the offseason. Before Rodgers' signing, videos on social media showed the pair working out in California. Rodgers – who also revealed on Tuesday that he got married this offseason – was complimentary of Metcalf after his first day of practice with the team, but highlighted head coach Tomlin as the main reason he decided to join. 'I've gone against him over the years. The way that the conversations went between him and I, whenever it was in March or April and the last Sunday when I called him was some of the coolest conversations I had in the game,' he said. 'So he's a big reason of why I'm here and I'm excited to play for him.' While Steelers fans might be excited at the prospect of Rodgers playing in the Steel City, other members of the NFL are enthusiastic about it for a different reason. Myles Garrett – who plays for the Steelers' AFC North rivals, the Cleveland Browns – was asked about Rodgers' addition to the division on Tuesday and his answer was unequivocal. 'What do I think about it? I think it's a good opportunity to put him in the graveyard,' Garrett told reporters. Garrett, the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, is famous for his extravagant Halloween decorations. He has decorated the front yard of his house as a graveyard filled with tombstones adorned with the names of every quarterback he has sacked over his career. In 2021, Garrett wore a Grim Reaper-style costume with a cloak emblazoned with the names of the quarterbacks he'd sacked. Garrett's first opportunity to add Rodgers to that list comes in Week 6 as the Browns travel to Pittsburgh before Cleveland hosts the Steelers in Week 17.
