If the Steelers were to pick up the option, it would cost them $6.79 million. We have until the first week in May to make a decision,” Khan said. "We have a new offensive coordinator, so that’s gonna play into the decision-making process. We’re having conversations with Arthur. It’s been great. We’ve been engaging frequently — coach Tomlin and Arthur and I — we’ve kind of been talking about the offense and what the vision is for it. And we think very highly of Najee and we’ll make the decision before May 2.” Harris ran for 1,035 yards on 255 yards with eight touchdowns on the ground last season while splitting snaps with Jaylen Warren.
Najee Harris is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Ravens.
