Giants Signing Veteran RB Najee Harris on 1-Year Deal: Report

The New York Giants signed veteran running back Najee Harris to a one-year contract on Tuesday, following a workout session on Monday. The 2025 season for Harris was cut short by a season-ending Achilles tear in Week 3 while playing for the Los Angeles Chargers. He participated in all three games under head coach Jim Harbaugh in Los Angeles.

Harris joins his brother John Harbaugh, who is the new head coach of the New York Giants. Prior to his injury-plagued 2025 season with the Chargers, Harris had spent the first four seasons of his professional career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He consistently surpassed 1,000 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns in each of those campaigns.

Following his workout with the Giants, Harbaugh commented on Harris's performance, noting that while he is not fully back to 100% or in football shape yet, he appears to be making progress. The Giants are optimistic about adding this experienced, decorated player to their roster for the upcoming 2026 season, with their first game set to be a Week 1 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on September 13.
