Steelers contracts: Rhamondre Stevenson deal a bad signal for Najee Harris staying long-term?

North Shore Drive podcast - Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more

On the Monday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Mike's Beer Bar, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to ponder the future for Najee Harris in Pittsburgh. Can a contract extension still be worked out with the running back entering his fourth season? Or does the New England Patriots' recent deal with Rhamondre Stevenson show such a move might be too costly considering GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin have already declined the fifth-year option on Harris' rookie contract? And if Harris is allowed to leave in free agency, how does that impact the Steelers' needs next offseason? Will they stick with Jaylen Warren as the starter? Look to add in the NFL draft? Or hope to get lucky in finding another undrafted free agent gem like Warren?

Our duo tackles those topic, then also explains changes to Steelers training camp in Latrobe. Then later, Pirates insider Noah Hiles joins to react to a frustrating series for the Pirates against the Tampa Bay Rays, in which their offense wasted a strong start by Paul Skenes.
