The agent for Steelers running back Najee Harris is responding to something that 93.7 The Fan’s Paul Zeise was told about his contract.
Zeise heard from a “little birdie” that Harris wanted the Steelers to decline his 5th-year option so he could play somewhere else in 2025.
He mentioned that on The Joe Show earlier this week.
On Thursday, Harris’ agent Doug Hendrickson sent out a tweet that said Zeise’s source “is a joke.”
“Next time do your homework and find a real source – not true,” Hendrickson added.
Harris was taken in the first-round of the 2021 NFL Draft (24th overall) by the Steelers.
The pick was considered controversial since running backs are typically taken in the first-round.
Harris is native of the Bay Area in California.
