    I don't question his ability or effort at all. He plays hard and wants to win. The vitriol comes from his social media silliness, the logo dancing, etc. It might not be a big deal to some, it's just not a good look. Plus, it now appears that Claypool might adopt some of Juju's habits. Aside from that, I have no trouble with Juju as a football player. It would be nice if they could keep him at a cap friendly price, but I don't think his being here makes or breaks the 2021 season.

    That is fair enough, I can see how it annoys people.

    Tbh that’s an indictment on the HC as much as anything, Juju is a young man in a social media obsessed generation, he makes money from social media and twitch etc and seems to enjoy the attention. I’ve no issues with that but the team needs to have a more robust policy around social media and PR and what is and isn’t acceptable.

    I get it. It's the generation. I didn't take as much negative from it, for all I know he was just showcasing where he was as was busting the moves rather than intentionally showing disrespect. Either one is correctable, especially at this age.

    But of course there's this. It's a different generation of kids, but the adults are there to educate and keep them in line.

    This. Exactly.

    Did it for like 10 games before anyone said anything then Bill and Bengals made a stink about it and it was lynch JuJu time.

    JuJu is a class act! If we cannot keep him, I will still be a fan of his. I hate that he may not be here.

    I want the Steelers to win, period. All due respect, I don't wish the kid any ill will, but what he does once he is no longer wearing the black & gold, I could care less.

    You said why didn't he do it without hall of fame qbs. I didnt answer that because everyone here said BEN made him..not hall of fame qbs made him. BEN. Not brady, not anyone else..I heard BEN. So I'm only talking about BEN. When I did answer the initial about Ben you switched it to "hall of fame" qbs.

    Players worry about themselves and no one else becuase of reasons like this. The moment you don't something the fans like they turn their back on you.

    I'm not knocking any player for getting all they can get while they are still healthy and able to perform, as long as they act like a human being while they conduct their business.

    Literally has nothing to do with fans and everything to do with maximizing their worth.

    I’d say it’s promising that we haven’t heard about JuJu or Bud today. I’m sure the message from the Steelers was test the market but get back to us before signing anything.

    Just heard on the radio out here in Cincy that JUJU said he will not be a Steeler next season. Haven't heard anything official though. Sucks that we just bought my son a #19 JJSS jersey for XMas. One of these days I'm just gonna quit letting my wife buy all the gifts.

    That’s been making the rounds today but nothing official backing it up. Saying that he has been telling teammates that he likely won’t sign with the Steelers.

    I doubt the story, I don’t think any Steelers players would pass it along to a reporter and JuJu hasn’t made any posts on social media regarding as such.

    We’ll see.

    Slow start on the receiver market, all the top guys that weren’t tagged are still available. Are teams backing off paying wideouts or is it the calm before the storm?

    The first one of that list just dropped, no details yet but that will get the dominoes falling now that there is a number to work with. NE has been busy.

    The only ride I'd sign AB for is the Steel Curtain at Kennywood and I'd loosen all the bolts right before he got on.

    5yrs 50 million; 20 million in signing bonus.

    Cap cost would be slightly under 5 million for 2021; All paid by Ben's pay cut.

    you don't want to do that, hell hath no fury like a woman who isn't allowed to go shopping without a man's interference.

    if you do, next thing you know you will be doing all the shopping and all kinds of other horrible things.

    and did I mention the no sex part?
