Free‑agent running back Najee Harris, who most recently played for the Los Angeles Chargers after a standout early career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, visited the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday as part of his ongoing search for a new NFL landing spot. The visit was reported on the NFL transaction wire and confirmed by multiple league sources, including NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo.
Harris, a first‑round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of the University of Alabama, has generated interest around the league despite dealing with a significant injury. After signing with the Chargers in 2025, his season was cut short by a torn Achilles tendon, and he has been working toward a return to full health while teams evaluate his potential impact.
The Seahawks, fresh off winning Super Bowl LX, are exploring options to bolster their backfield after losing key contributors. Star running back Kenneth Walker III departed in free agency, and fellow runner Zach Charbonnet is expected to miss significant time recovering from an ACL injury suffered late in the season. That has left Seattle with questions at the position as it prepares to defend its title.
Harris brings a résumé that includes multiple 1,000‑yard rushing seasons and a Pro Bowl selection early in his career, attributes that could provide veteran depth for the Seahawks should both sides reach an agreement.
According to league reports, Harris is expected to continue his free‑agency tour with planned meetings with other teams, including the Las Vegas Raiders.
As the 2026 NFL offseason unfolds, the Seahawks’ handling of their running back situation — whether through a signing like Harris or other roster moves — will be watched closely as part of their effort to repeat as champions.
