Jaylen Warren

Steelers signed Jaylen Warren to a one-year, $5.3 million contract.

Warren signed his restricted free agent tender today. It’ll be his final year before free agency. Mike Tomlin said earlier today that he “certainly feel[s] comfortable” with Warren entering the season as the No. 1 running back on the depth chart. It remains to be seen if the Steelers add at running back in the draft, and thus Warren’s fantasy status will hang in the balance until Saturday or so. Warren will likely get the first crack either way, but if the Steelers draft someone in the first two days of the draft, it will be a signal that we should treat Warren as more likely to wind up in a committee by October or so.
