BREAKING: Najee Harris’ agent makes honest admission about reports that RB asked team to decline fifth-year option
In a surprising move that caught many fans off guard, the Pittsburgh Steelers opted not to exercise the fifth-year option for their primary running back, Najee Harris, before this year’s deadline.
Following this decision, speculation arose regarding Harris’ intentions, with radio host Paul Zeise and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist shedding light on a possible twist. Zeise suggested that an inside source revealed Harris had actually requested the team to forego his fifth-year option, aiming to enter free agency in 2025 for the chance to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
However, this narrative faced a swift rebuttal when Harris’ agent, Doug Hendrickson, swiftly took to social media to dismiss these claims.
Hey @PaulZeise your “little birdie” source is a joke- next time do your homework and find a real source- not true- @PittsburghPG
