    He is.


    Marvin Harrison may be more conplete overall and Malik has a Route Tree with electrifying capability but Odunze has both beat in combat catching. Take everything you love about Pickens ability to high point the ball, crank it up to 11 and remove the Character issues.


    He would fit well in both the WR Corps in dirw need of leadership and a new WR Coach in Zach Azzani who needs a good student to show the others the benefits of hard work.

    Russell Wilson would have zero excuses. That said, tomorrow, be sure to tune in to NFL Network if you can. Why?!


    Georgias Pro Day. Pittsburgh is sending everyone there.... and I mean everyone...

    I have the joy of experiencing an Achilles tear actually. Got the injury from overuse trying to sprint. Anyways the thing took like 9-10 months to heal doing the best I could without the use of all the trainers and equipment these guys have.

    Low blood flow in the tendon so it takes forever to heal

    I fully expect a WR sign in free agency followed by a WR in one of the the top 3 rounds.

    The only WR I would want them to even consider moving up for would be Marvin Harrison Jr.

    Dont shortchange Rome Odunze.


    Dude can flat out play. In the event he somehow, someway falls to Seattle... I would hope Kahn is working that phone. With Pickens, Pittsburgh would field two pass catchers who are nigh impossible to contest at the catch point.

    His 2023 Season was the first time he played a full season since his rookie year. Between 2019 to 2022 though, a lot of knicks; all leading up to an achilles tear in 2022. That said, he does add one massive thing to this defense; speed... and lots of it.


    Now... as for his coverage... oof..


    gonna need to dive into the All 22 but not good in 2023. Hoepfullu with a new enviornment he cam bounce back.

    Average CB who started 16 games last year, and did not have a single Int. Jackson had a $15 million cap hit for 2024, so if not traded he would have been released by March 16th with his $4 million roster bonus due. Carolina saves $5 million with the Steelers taking on the other $10 million.

    Carolina probably dug his name out of their garbage can when the Steelers called asking what they could trade for DJ. Most reports were that Carolina was going to release Jackson before March 16th.

    Geez, huge hole in wr room now … Hopefully they go after Tyler Boyd.

    I’m surprised Russel Wilson signing didn’t convince DJ to come back.

    Went over to panthers board to find out about their take on the corner.
    1. Liked him, but was over paid.
    2. Had health issues. But came off last year doing good.

    3. Some are trying to say Johnson is a top 10 WR...... but I learned they haven't had a WR in so long that they'll be happy with Johnson running backwards.

    I think he was pointing out that your link directed to the Steelers Depot 2023 pro day visits.

    Here's their page for 2024 (typically updated within 24 hours or so).


    He is.

    Thought they might have gotten more for DJ but I guess the attitude issues did not go unnoticed and there is a stacked WR upcoming

    WR room looks like a wasteland but it’s still only March so no need to panic. One free agent and one Day 1 or Day 2 draft pick and the picture looks very different

    Both DJs are on the last year of their contracts, both were probably going to be cut by their respective teams. Johnson is due a roster bonus of several mil, which Carolina will now pay. I don’t see his frustrations becoming less with the kind of QB play that will be occurring in Carolina.
    Jackson came back after a significant injury, but is certainly not any all pro.

    I don’t think this move is really as significant as some of us would think. Omar saved some lucre and got rid of a malcontent. Hopefully they will snag a good wide receiver in the draft. I could see them moving up to do so.

    I sorta knew this trade was being talked about. (I didn't get a chance to elaborate on this as I lost my brother yesterday to cancer)
    I'm glad it happened. As I've stated a few times, DJ is not helping the QB situation nor is he a good team player.

    It gets DJ a new start away from the mess he created.
    And it helps us in getting the right person in here that does help.

    I look at the CB and see him as 'just a name' but can fill in as decent depth and occasional starter.
    Maybe he can find his form back? And challenge starters.

    Meanwhile, Pittsburgh now has to find probably 2 good WR's.

    Curtis Samuel would be a good slot receiver and he's good at running the ball too. So you have some options with him in the system.

    Tyler Boyd could be another option.

    I would like to see them get 1 out of FA..
