Every day at Steelers Depot, we share quick insights into Pittsburgh Steelers news that might not warrant a full article but are definitely worth mentioning. Here’s your Depot After Dark for March 11.
Ravens Keep Their Top Fullback
In 2024, the Baltimore Ravens were a powerhouse, thanks largely to their formidable rushing game. While Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson were the stars, fullback Patrick Ricard played a crucial role in paving the path for their success. Ricard, one of the NFL’s top fullbacks for years now and a First-team All-Pro recipient last year, was on the verge of becoming a free agent. However, Dianna Russini from The Athletic reports via Twitter that the Ravens are re-signing him. For Baltimore, this move ensures continuity into 2025, which could spell trouble for the Steelers as the Ravens remain a strong contender in the AFC North.

Heartfelt Farewell from Freiermuth to Harris
The dynamic duo of Pat Freiermuth and Najee Harris has been vital in rejuvenating the Steelers’ offense since they were drafted in 2022. Freiermuth managed to secure an extension last year, but Harris wasn’t as fortunate. It appears that Harris is moving on, having reportedly signed with the Los Angeles Chargers. This departure is bittersweet given the bond the two shared. Freiermuth took to Instagram to wish Harris well, showing their close-knit friendship. As their shared journey comes to an end, it’s clear Harris will be missed, but there’s hope he shines with the Chargers.

However, things took a turn, and Fields decided to join the New York Jets, reportedly signing a lucrative deal. While the specifics of his celebration remain a bit unclear, Fields was recently spotted living it up in Dubai, as shared by Bleacher Report on Instagram.
