It’s disgusting how the NFL treats running backs and these analysts talk about running backs

[@jayball4155]

I hope this is a prelude to a fair, say 3-year, contract extension.

[@tiemann55]

Just because they declined his option doesn’t mean he won’t get a new contract. Relax people

[@martaviouspaul7117]

This makes 0 sense he’s pretty much been their offense behind that awful offensive line and has been a 1k back since being there

[@rayshirley8204]

So you draft 3 lineman to improve your running game, but you don't want to pay your top rb????????

[@MarvyG23]

He will get a contract extension at some point in the future

[@OnlyTheBestNO]

RBs get no love

Etienne's 5th year was picked up by the Jags. Slightly more money and Najee had better stats.

[@jaedynstjuste1708]

As a Steelers Fan i definitely understand them not wanting to commit to him for 2025 and if you look at last year our Offense was more “EXPLOSIVE” with Jaylen Warren in the lineup.

[@jscooty11]

Jaylen will say himself that he’s not as good as Najee.. I hate how media personalities try to devalue athletes.

[@motherlodebassin5369]

Saying Harris isn’t worth 7 million when you pay qbs 60 million is complete bs. Running backs should all go on strike. They take the most hits and you want to treat them like they lucky to play football. What we need is to get rid of owners altogether and have the cities own the teams and any profits go back to the city. Billionaires getting richer off football players is crazy bs

[@Uhhh565]

Fans are so delusional. " running backs get no love " it's disgusting how they treat them " bruh just stop w this wanna be moralistic nonsense. Running backs are easily disposable and there injury prone. That is the simple reality. If jaylen warren who is was an undrafted free agent is as productive than najee than why invest any money at all in a running back, there easy to find? You people just dismiss logic

[@TheTrainMan570]

This makes NO SENSE to me

[@JosephSobieski]

Tannenbum is a straight up clown for that take

[@LuqNessY]

I think they should have picked it up, and it's a bad look to treat your #1 pick like this. It shows inconsistency in their decisions, same thing with bringing in Trubisky, drafting Harvin, etc...

[@Wallogills]

Steeler fans gone regret all that Jaylen Warren Rb1 talk. Jaylen is good no doubt but he’s a great compliment to Najee. Najee is the true #1💯

[@jtreverse]

I think the Steelers are wanting to save money and to possibly workout a more team friendly deal instead, i don't see them letting Najee go after the year

[@bulufish8208]

Warren is only good when Naris is taking some of the load. He is staying with us.................

[@franthevan65]

Doesn’t mean he won’t get a deal done in the future this makes sense from a business standpoint

[@craigslist9176]

I wonder if they'll try to involve him in a trade or if he'll ask to be traded after being snubbed on the 5th year? If not, I don't think he'll want to come back next year unless the Steelers are the highest bidder. Time will tell!
