NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Giants are cutting RB Najee Harris.

Harris was listed as the starter for Week 6 after the Giants moved to a committee for the week but only went for four yards on two carries in just 11 snaps.

Harris, 28, was a two-year starter at Alabama and was a first-team All-American and a Doak Walker Award winner as a senior. The Steelers took Harris with pick No. 24 in the 2021 draft.

Harris signed a four-year, $13,047,447 with the Steelers that includes a $6,849,053 signing bonus. The Steelers declined his fifth-year option for 2025, which would’ve cost them $6.79 million fully guaranteed, and set him up to be an unrestricted free agent in 2025.  

He signed a one-year deal worth $5,250,000 with the Chargers last offseason and signed with the Giants for 2026.

In 2026, Harris has appeared in five games for the Giants and rushed 31 times for 99 yards (3.2 YPC).
