Looks like Dre Greenlaw, Najee Harris will be rivals
Dre Greenlaw is headed to the AFC West and Najee Harris may join him, but it doesn’t appear to be with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Greenlaw, a middle linebacker from the San Francisco 49ers, has agreed to a three-year contract with the Denver Broncos according to several reports. NFL Media is reporting the Los Angeles Chargers are trying to finalize a deal with Harris to bring the Pittsburgh Steelers running back to town.

The deal is not done yet. But potentially and if all goes well, a big addition for one of the NFL’s best rushing attacks. pic.twitter.com/9XWtP9WKYW

Both Greenlaw and Harris had been connected to the Raiders at positions of need.
The Greenlaw move is probably more panful for the Raiders. The Raiders have a big hole at middle linebacker now that tackle machine Robert Spillane has agreed to terms on a three-year contract with the New England Patriots.
The middle linebacker free-agent class got swallowed up early with most of the top players at the position re-signing with their own teams. The Raiders, who have many needs, may have to look at the draft to replace Spillane. They could give 2024 fifth-round pick Tommy Eichenberg a look, although he didn’t show much as a rookie.
There isn’t a lot in free agency at running back where the Raiders have a big need. Among the best available running backs are Nick Chubb, J.K Dobbins and Rico Dowdle.
Pete Carroll wants to run the ball. The draft is deep at running abck and the Raiders could use an early pick at the position perhaps even as high as No. 6 pick with Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty as the target.
