Giants sign Najee Harris to one-year deal
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Veteran running back Najee Harris, 28, is recovering from a torn Achilles suffered in Week 3 of last season and has been running at full speed in recent videos, aiming for a return this offseason.
- Harris has met with the Raiders and Seahawks and is scheduled to meet with the Giants, who have a crowded backfield including Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy, and Devin Singletary; if signed, Harris would likely serve as a backup.
- The Giants are open to adding a veteran running back like Harris in a RB3 role, but acquiring a premier back remains unlikely at this stage of the offseason.
- Harris signed a one-year contract with the Chargers last offseason but was sidelined early due to his Achilles injury, ending his 2023 season with 15 carries for 61 yards and three receptions.
- Teams may consider Harris for a "prove-it" deal given his previous four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with the Steelers, though his full recovery and readiness remain key factors for potential suitors.
