Gainwell, 25, spent the last four seasons as the Eagles' top backup at the position, where he spelled reigning Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley during Philadelphia's 2024 Super Bowl run. He was originally a fifth-round draft pick of the Eagles out of Memphis.

The Steelers have not shut the door on Harris returning at a reduced price, but it is hard to see the running back landing that type of deal from Pittsburgh in such a deep draft class. On top of that, the team has Jaylen Warren, who is someone they trust and will lean on next year.
