Chargers agree to terms with RB Najee Harris on a one-year deal

The Chargers have a new running back.

Najee Harris, Pittsburgh’s first-round pick in 2021, has agreed to terms with the Chargers. Per multiple reports, it’s a one-year deal worth up to $9.25 million. The base value was not disclosed.

Harris would have made $6.7 million in 2025, if the Steelers had exercised his fifth-year option. They did not, setting the stage for Harris to hit free agency.

He has never missed a game in four years, and he has four straight 1,000-yard seasons.

Great move by the Chargers... I really like this guy, he's got great running instincts.

 

Johnathan Allen 3yrs 60 million Kwesi throwing around the money kind of reminds me Tricky Ricky how he used throw around the money

 

Rodgers signing with the Vikings would be the most interesting of landing spots, if only because of the endless media talking heads comparing it to Favre.




Where is the tab for the sarcasm font?

Vikings agree to deals with Jonathan Allen, Will Fries

The Minnesota Vikings strengthened their defensive and offensive lines Tuesday, agreeing to deals with free agent defensive tackle Jonathan Allen and guard Will Fries.

The Vikings announced Allen's deal Tuesday morning but did not disclose terms. Allen's agent, Blake Baratz of Team IFA, told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the former Washington Commanders star agreed to a three-year contract worth $60 million.

Minnesota then agreed to a five-year, $88 million deal with Fries, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, as the team grabbed one of the top available interior offensive linemen.

Allen was released Friday by the Commanders after Washington failed to find a trade partner for the two-time Pro Bowler. He was entering the final year of his deal with a $15.5 million base salary and no more guaranteed money remaining.

Allen missed nine games in 2024 with a torn left pectoral muscle but played in the final two regular-season games and three postseason contests, finishing with 3 sacks, 3 tackles for loss and 7 quarterback hits.

Fries also had his 2024 season cut short by injury, suffering a devastating leg fracture in the Indianapolis Colts' Week 5 game that required emergency surgery. Before the injury, Fries had established himself as an extremely promising young interior lineman -- a necessity in a league full of dominant interior pass rushers.

Allen, 30, made the Pro Bowl after the 2021 and 2022 seasons, when he combined for 16.5 sacks. In eight seasons with Washington, he recorded 42 sacks in 108 starts.

Fries, 26, was a seventh-round pick in 2021, seen as a developmental player who might compete for a roster spot. But by midway through his second season, Fries had ascended to Indianapolis' starting lineup. He started all 17 games at right guard for the Colts in 2023.

Absolutely a beautiful thing. You get it done in the trenches.

 

With the Vikings loosing, Jones, Mullens and Darnold... Im getting real scared. They definitely need a starter/veteran (backup), as I believe its JJ McCarthy time for 2025. Only Rypien is on the team behind JJ, so they are hard pressed to do something.
