Giants Sign Running Back Najee Harris to One-Year Deal
The former Steelers standout, now healthy after an Achilles tear cut short his 2025 season with the Chargers, joins an already crowded New York backfield.
The New York Giants are signing running back Najee Harris to a one-year deal, sources told ESPN, adding a proven veteran to a crowded backfield.
Where has he been recently?
Harris spent 2025 with the Los Angeles Chargers, but his season was cut short by an Achilles tear. He's now reported to be healthy.
What's his track record?
Before joining the Chargers, Harris was a standout for the Pittsburgh Steelers, topping 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first four NFL seasons and earning a Pro Bowl selection as a rookie in 2021.
How does he fit in New York?
Harris joins a Giants backfield that already features co-starters Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr., along with Devin Singletary, making him a veteran depth and competition piece rather than a clear lead-back addition.
