    per Schefter
    "Steelers’ WR James Washington, a former 2018 second-round pick, has approached the Steelers and requested a trade based on his limited playtime last season and so far this preseason, per source."

    I thought and think this guy has a lot of talent. i just don't get if he's not a good fit on the Steelers or what. I thought this guy was a lock to be a solid contributor for 6-7 years

    Hmm. They must not be using Him much at training camp, or something.

    I get it from his perspective. He could be getting a lot more play time on another team. I think he has more to give than we have let him give to this point.

    Why he gets so little playing time is beyond me. Seems to have all the tools (and better hands than some starters). Very strong too.

    Did he sleep with Tomlin's wife or something?

    I would think teams would line up to trade for him, he hasn't had much playing time, but he seems so clutch ..What was he a 3rd/4th round pick ?

    i don't get it. The only time i remember "bad press" about Washington is when ben called him out for diving for a pass that i think was after a loss in Denver. He has probably the the best Hands on the team. I don't get it, what is he missing? When Ben was out i think he led the team in receiving yards. He can make tough catches and seems to be a good blocker. He isn't a burner that's one thing i can think of , unless something is going on behind the scenes.

    He got fewer opportunities last night than Ray Ray. That has got to sting.

    I cant say I blame him. He is buried behind 3 good receivers and 2 TEs. Not to mention Najee will catch some balls.

    This is why I didnt want JuJu back. We were still stacked without him and could have used that money on a position of weakness.

    I honestly think he needs more play time. Especially when you have JuJu rented for the year.

    I would put Washington in the rotation.

    He’s just buried on the depth chart. I don’t trade him in case of injuries but keep communications open to see if someone gives up something dumb for him.

    With Ben it is always been who can I build chemistry with. I think passive aggressive comment by Ben about running through the catch sorta soured that relationship and he just couldn't convince the staff to give him more time.

    I kinda agree. Remember back when we were stacked at ILB and traded, and Let's some go.....Bam ...very quickly we were in trouble because we didn't have any.
    Sh!+ can change very Quickly

    He was probably hoping to see more playing time this year with Ben and JuJu gone.

    Ben single him out and said he was Mason's WR, not his.

    As long as Ben is at QB this year he is not going to see too many balls thrown his direction.

    I get that claypool is physically gifted but his hands are subpar honestly , JuJu is one of the least clutch players in recent steelers WR history, awful fumbles and again subpar hands , DJ is the best WR on the team but his hands are questionable. Washington doesn't share similar traits as the previously mentioend. I would try and get ebron off of the field and and use another WR, James Washington. It's not like he's buried behind generational talents lol. IDK. We have a collection of perfectly average WR's. I think James could contribute
