    I know, you don’t like players that show loyalty.

    Don't really need a #1 if they have Johnson locked up.

    I don't think JuJu does well as a true #1 either. Love the kid, but they really got him destroyed last year with how they were using him.

    Juju and Ben were an item. Ben is gone, so I would move on from Juju instead of assuming he'll gel with the next QB.

    Keep JuJu. He's earned it.

    Depends but I'm not taking that over production. The nfl is a business

    He’ll produce, may not be the flashy numbers he had with AB opposite him but there have been other contributing factors to that as well.

    And his absence definitely hurt the team last year.

    JuJu is a clutch and dependable receiver. He can catch the tough ball in traffic and deliver. Which is why his production went down in 2020 as Ben's passing game took a hit and was throwing so much behind the sticks. Yes, I know the O-Line had a lot to do with it, but he would be a big help to any new starting QB.

    That's not flashy numbers. It's production.

    He's also earned the ability to make more money elsewhere. I doubt they even make him an offer.

    I know you don't like JuJu, and say His biggest numbers are because of Ab, but how come nobody else did that with Ab here, and Why didn't Ab do that when Wallace was here???

    They won’t make him an offer. They will ask him for an opportunity to match an offer he may get. If he is interested at coming back the team will then make a decision as to if they want to match. It’s the way they do it, and it works.

    Ditto Haden and a few others

    Martavis bryant definitely could've but he couldn't stay out of his own way. Ab didn't get the opportunities when Wallace was there. He was like the 4th wr.

    I agree with Bryant, but You still are not counting the others that played with Ab

    In ab's prime when he became the guy in 2014, martivis was his number 2 but couldn't get eight then they drafted juju in 18.

    His 1400 yard season is flashy.

    Let’s be honest. No offensive player is resigning or coming here as a FA without asking who their QB1 will be day 1. Your not getting offensive talent here with Mason Rudolph as your QB.

    Lot of FA’s go to teams with bad QB’s. It’s all about the Benjamin’s.

    We have them but the Steelers aren’t known to pay top dollar for free agents.

    NFL Network's free agent show is on now and they are saying the Falcons are the most likely landing spot for Juju. The Falcons are 17 million under the cap and need a receiver with Calvin Ridley being suspended for gambling.

    I don't look at Johnson as a no. 1 either

    JuJu's numbers, or lack thereof had more to do with Ben and Canada than JuJu imo.... The constant 3 yard passes hurt him
