    Tee isn’t a free agent until 2024. Yeah, he’d look great as a Steeler, but that’s the earliest it could happen.

    The emergence of the run game I feel had something to do with it like you mentioned. Maybe or not the 3rd option but the big three got all the looks in Johnson, Pickens and Freiermuth. Plus they didn't target Pickens quite enough which needs to change in 23.

    They will add a receiver but it won't be Juju.

    For a little while he was a fan favorite after this. He will always be in my good graces for this hit alone.

    2 flags, one for taunting when he stood over him and the Hines Ward rule. No one deserved to get lit up more than Burfict.

    Juju is a nice guy who was proud to be a steeler, I appreciate him. But I kind of want to just move on from that era.

    It’s one of my favourite Steeler plays… but it was the very definition of taunting.

    The focus on the run suppressed every receiver's numbers to a point, but not THAT much. Sims did almost nothing aside from that one catch against the Ravens. I doubt Smith-Schuster is coming back, but I saw nothing that makes me think they can use Sims as more than a No. 4 who runs some gadget plays.

    If the Steelers had wanted JuJu to still be a Steeler he would already have been a Steeler

    I doubt the Steelers would meet his asking price, that would be too much money to pay a guy to be the #3 WR that averages 8-9 yards a catch.

    Why would Juju want to leave the team with the best QB and best passing attack who will get him a chance at the Super Bowl every year for the team with the worst passing attack that won’t sniff a Super Bowl until Jujus kids are in college?

    Man, Leveon was a heckuva RB, wasn’t he? It’s a shame he left at least two good seasons on the table by being stupid. Loved his running style.

    People keep saying this but then he keeps signing for less. Unless he has a big SB there is nothing about his season that warrants big money.

    He’s a good possession receiver that can move the chains. If the Chiefs aren’t interested in bringing him back, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Steelers try. They need another receiver.

    JUJU was smart to go to KC. Most WR will look good with Mahomes, he was 2nd on KC in Yards at 933, caught only 3 TDs ( but hey thats 3 more than our 18 million a year guy DJ)

    Some one will offer him too much, more than likely. I see Juju as a #2 or #3 guy. Between a 800-1000 a season yards with 3-5 TDs in a good offense with a good QB.

    He will never be a star #1 with 1250-1400 yards and 7-9 TDs. He just isn't that level.

    His smartest move would be to try to return to KC on a 2-3 year deal if he can get it because a talent like Mahomes is good to play with.

    I thought he was flagged for the hit, then suspended for taunting, which was absolute garbage. That very same week Gronkowski injured one of the Bills with a vicious, dirty hit and got no suspension.

    Well according to the commish the reffing has never been better. In fact something 47,000 plays this year, and while there was a lot of missed calls the refs did a terrific job. So lets magnify 4x missed per play and you get nearly 200, 000 missed calls. I jest of course, nothing is going to be perfect, but the speed of the game, the ever growing rule book and technology that instantly shows missed/wrong calls and you can no way say they have gotten better.

    He was penalized for both Illegal Blindside Hit and Taunting (the latter declined).
