Giants will release Najee Harris
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Giants are releasing running back Najee Harris, who had expressed frustration about limited touches in the team's rushing attack.
- Harris appeared in five games with one start, totaling 31 carries for 99 yards, but saw minimal usage in the most recent game against the Saints.
- The timing of the release suggests it may be a response to Harris's public criticism of the offensive approach and could also be an attempt to facilitate a trade of his contract.
- Harris was a first-round pick in 2021 and had four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers before suffering an Achilles injury in 2025.
- The move marks a significant change for Harris, who had expected to take on a larger role with the Giants this season.
