Would you take a 2025 draft pick to trade Harris?

Sure, trade Najee and then 2 games into the season Warren gets hurt.

We only use this strategy for WRs apparently

Even though we're going to play with 2 WRs most of the time.

Why would we trade him? You are essentially getting one of the most consistent backs in the league for cheap, not to mention its a contract year for him so he will be very motivated.

It's always good when a smart person posts versus someone who just hates a player

You are absolutely correct. Harris is steady and reliable. Sorry to the fantasy PFF and football junkies he isn't "flashy enough." He will be a stud in Smith's offense.

I'll predict now he will still be a Steeler in 2025. They will do a Saquon with him for at least one more season.

First of all, I don't think Joel is a PFF guy. Second, he may or may not be a stud in Smith's offense, which runs a lot of outside zone. Najee succeeds in power runs between the tackles, not zone runs outside. He just may not have the wheels for it.

That said, of course we should keep him for a year, but I suspect it will be his last here.

Yeah, we're all-in to win ONE playoff game this season. That's the measure of success for all the moves they've made. Dumping the OC. Cleaning out the QB room. Drafting the OL. It has to equal one playoff win or it was a bust and there will be more house cleaning for next season.

There's no chance IMO of getting rid of Najee this season. The OL is built now for him and Warren to do their thing and hide some of our weakness in the passing game.

What are you talking about? The Steelers will be playing 6 playoff games in the last two months of the regular season!

Apparently the Steelers are going to feature a FB, and the lineman are switching back to single bar face-masks

He may be a stud? Do not tease Oviedo, I'm warring you. Najee " stud " Harris. roll: PFF rates him #5 in the NFL on slugs who run a 4.6+ at RB.

The question is after you trade Harris for the 3rd rounder, who do you have in the backfield? Warren taking 380 touches or Warren and who else? You never answer that because there is no adequate answer.

One thing I am hearing is that Harris is serious about losing weight and getting down to around 220. LeVeon and I have been advocating for that. Harris has many good qualities and he had a pretty good season last year but he lacks a little in burst and acceleration.

If the weight loss gives him another step, then Harris could become a very good NFL back. I am anxious to see what the transformation does for him. But you cannot provide another option that would be better than Harris at this time.

Jerome "slug" Bettis ran a 4.7 40

We should have dumped the guy
