Harris, who returned from a season-ending Achilles injury, has not generated a large free-agent market this offseason. The Seahawks’ visit signals continued interest from teams seeking experienced backfield depth after Harris’s three 1,000-yard seasons to start his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Drafted 24th overall in 2021, Harris burst onto the scene with a 1,200-yard rushing season and led the league in total touches (381) as a rookie. Despite that strong start, Pittsburgh declined Harris’s fifth-year option before he posted another 1,000-yard year in 2024 and then did not re-sign him in the subsequent free-agent period.
Harris later joined the Los Angeles Chargers, appearing in three games during the 2025 season before suffering a season-ending injury. The Seahawks’ interest adds another potential path for Harris as he seeks a new opportunity to contribute as a veteran back in a strong defensive-focused league.
As teams assess backfield options, Harris’s experience and versatility could fit a variety of roster needs, particularly for contenders seeking depth and durability behind a lead back. His status remains fluid, with teams evaluating fit, contract terms, and role before making a final decision.
