Per a Monday report from NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, the Seattle Seahawks are hosting former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris for an official free agent visit this week, as the franchise looks to address major gaps in its backfield depth ahead of the 2025 NFL regular season. Harris, 26, emerged as one of the league's most consistent young rushers after being selected by the Steelers with the 24th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He earned Pro Bowl honors as a rookie, racking up 1,200 rushing yards and 7 rushing touchdowns, adding 74 receptions for 467 yards and 3 additional scores through the air to finish top 10 in offensive yards league-wide that year. He went on to post back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 2022 and 2023, finishing his four-year tenure in Pittsburgh with 4,386 career rushing yards, 28 rushing touchdowns, and 204 receptions for 1,468 receiving yards, cementing his reputation as a versatile, physical playmaker capable of contributing in both run and pass schemes. The Steelers opted not to exercise the fifth-year option on Harris' rookie contract earlier this offseason, making him an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2025 signing period. The Seahawks' interest in Harris comes as no surprise to NFL analysts, as the franchise finished 22nd in the league in rushing yards per game last season, averaging just 98.7 yards on the ground. Starting running back Kenneth Walker III missed six games with a midseason ankle injury, and backup Zach Charbonnet struggled to fill the void, posting a career-low 3.8 yards per carry and failing to create consistent yards after contact. New Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb has repeatedly stated that he wants to build a balanced offense that relies on a multi-purpose backfield, and Harris' proven pass-catching ability fits perfectly with Grubb's scheme, which regularly features running backs as checkdown options and route runners out of the slot. Seattle currently has roughly $32 million in available salary cap space for the 2025 season, so a potential deal for Harris would not stretch the team's budget. League sources estimate that a contract for Harris would likely fall in the range of 2 years, $12 million to $14 million, with $7 million to $9 million in guaranteed money. While the Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals have also expressed preliminary interest in Harris, the Seahawks are the only team to offer him a clear path to competing for a starting backfield role, as the Eagles already have Saquon Barkley as their featured rusher and the Bengals remain committed to Joe Mixon as their lead back. Both Harris and the Seahawks are expected to make a final decision on a potential deal within the next 48 hours, per league insiders.
