Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren will likely not sign with the team once his rookie contract expires at the end of the 2025 season, in the opinion of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac.
Huddle Up: While Warren has been a productive member of Pittsburgh's backfield for a few years, the Steelers have not extended running backs very often in recent years - especially those who expect a big raise on the open market. This was likely the motivation for Pittsburgh to add Kenneth Gainwell in free agency, as he brings many of the same qualities to the offense as Warren but will likely do so at a lower price. It also paves the way for rookie Kaleb Johnson to be a true bell-cow in 2026.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren "appears to be ready" to be the team's top running back in 2025, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
"I certainly feel comfortable with his ability to do so. He got hampered by injury some in 2024. He appears to be ready to answer that. I know he's really excited about his opportunity. I don't think myself or anyone within the question his talents in regards to managing the ability to manage potentially that role," Tomlin said.
Huddle Up: Tomlin's comments suggest that while the Steelers will probably eye a Day 2 or Day 3 running back (they traded away their second-round pick to acquire DK Metcalf), they will probably ask him to complement Warren as opposed to having Warren complement the rookie. This rookie class is deep enough at running back that Warren should not get too comfortable, but it does appear as if his fantasy managers should expect him to handle at least 12 to 13 touches per game in 2025.

Pittsburgh Steelers restricted free-agent RB Jaylen Warren signed his second-round tender Monday, March 10, worth $5.346 million.
Huddle Up: Warren was the RB39 in PPR leagues despite playing in 15 games. He turned into a super useful combo back in fantasy. The Steelers' offense is in flux, though, and a lot could change before the season kicks off. Warren is an RB3 with upside.

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren is expected to get tendered as a restricted free agent, but sources tell PennLive.com there is desire within the organization to sign him to a long-term deal. Contract negotiations could begin this summer.
Huddle Up: Warren has earned a shot at the primary role in Pittsburgh, but there will be some competition for touches, and we all know how offensive coordinator Arthur Smith loves to play games with RB utilization. At any rate, there's No. 2 fantasy value to be found in Warren's 2025 draft outlook, but we'll dig deeper once the offseason maneuvering fills out this backfield.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren is expected to receive a tender offer as a restricted free agent, according to sources Friday, Feb. 4.
Huddle Up: It would be no surprise for Warren to be tendered considered his cost vs. production. With Najee Harris potentially leaving in free agency, Warren could be headed toward a bigger role in 2025. He's a high-end RB3 with the chance to bump into the RB2 tier if Harris moves on.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (ribs) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 2, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Warren should continue to share playing time with Najee Harris during the regular season finale and can be a flex option in most fantasy leagues.
