Chargers sign Najee Harris to $9.25 million deal

The Los Angeles Chargers have signed running back Najee Harris to a one-year contract worth up to $9.25 million, which has sparked mixed reactions among fans. With a base value of $5.25 million and incentives tied to rushing yardage, Harris aims to prove his worth after a lackluster four-year stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers. His performance will be critical, as he seeks to secure a more lucrative deal for 2026. The Chargers' early moves in free agency have been criticized for being underwhelming, particularly in light of losing cornerback Kristian Fulton and the uncertain future of Asante Samuel Jr. Despite fans' frustrations, the team has positioned itself to avoid pressure in the upcoming draft. Analysts suggest that while Harris may not be a game-changer, he provides stability as they look to fill remaining roster holes effectively.
