According to CBS Sports, JuJu is in talks with Jets. Makes sense! Back with Darnold and he can really work on his brand.
The bad side of this is the NY Press. Relentless and non forgiving so be careful JuJu.
 
Not sure I see the Jets as a great fit for JuJu unless they plan on cutting Crowder...
 
If I was Juju I would take what the Steelers are offering over the Jets. But his boy is there and perhaps money will ultimately weigh in.
 
1 year plus option with Steelers, if Juju can't get paid elsewhere.
Win/Win
 
Idk boys, the Jets are the place where Steelers go to die. Of course I’d like to see him back here but if he goes the Jets will screw this up like they always do. I would have thought the Raiders or one of the west coast teams.
 
WoW

He is definately going to where he thinks the MONEY is and not worried about quality of football. I can't blame him on following the money but it would be easier to see him leave to a quality team.

AND

Somehow / somewhere / someone is thin king this is all BEN's fault.

He's not in a hurry. He's 24, with over 300 catches and 26 TD's. He may not be a game breaking 1, but he's better than some of the guys who already got paid. Business is business.
 
The other big factor in him going to the J-E-T-S.... Jets - Jets - Jets
Is from what I understand ...him and Darnold are tight being USC alum and all..

Bye bye Juju...

Thanks for the memories..
 
If this is all that is looking to JUJU maybe he should see playing in Pittsburgh is much better than NY, ask Bell how well he did,,,wait forgot it all about wanting to win not the money
 
5 in 25 years left Pitt for jets for more cash only faneca did well busts
niel bell Holmes beachum
 
he should talk to Avery Williamson about his time in NY. No matter where he goes, he will not be starving, but NY is not a football hotbed right now. He has his young feet semi-established in Pittsburgh. He is cherished here. Between the two franchises, I would give PIT another hard look, but if he wants to build his brand, NYC would be where to do it.
 
The Jets are the team many thought he would end up with all along. They need to surround their rookie QB with offensive weapons.
 
if he does re-sign with the STEELERS I would hope this has been a little humbling experience to him. This disregard to the team and only meMEme matters is something all these athletes fully believe but at what cost to the team do you allow it ?


I think I'd put some sort of wording on the contract for detrimental to the team for terms of release. Not saying it will happen because everybody coddles these guys like no tomorrow.

If your a good player in the NFL you should be set for life financially. If you stay out of trouble and are engaging to fans / media you will get endorsements and should have more money than you know what to do with. I do not understand the whole money chasing mentality. If I played for a good team I would take a big discount to stay there rather than go to a team with no shot at winning anything.

And he sees his true value. I think he’s a little delusional when it comes to what he’s worth. He’s not close to the same category as some of the top wideouts in the game.

Was watching a promo video on NFL channel the other day and they were taking a couple top free agent WR and saying their name and something they bring such as Will Fuller and speed. When it got to juju all they said was “swag”. Whatever that is...

"swag" : Dancing and antagonizing opposing teams, when told to quit....... antagonize your boss by videoing a td celebration and telling the world yu aren't going to change who you are. Verb


EDIT: sarcasm,..... I should have marked it as so there was no mistake in deciphering.

Sounds like the douchebags from NFLN's Good Morning Football. (80% crap talk... if not for eye candy Kay Adams, that show would be utterly unwatchable).

And, according to some talking heads on these shows, it appears that state income taxes play a large role in some FA players' decisions on where to sign. Makes sense, in that someone earning Ju Ju's salary will pay in state income taxes:
NY: 8.82%
PA: 3.07%
NV: 0%
TX: 0%

I hope he goes to the NFC or maybe the Chargers. Would truly suck to see him playing for Baltimore.

Im thinking agents are to blame for this not happening as much as you would think it would...

Talk about twisting a narrative...the media was pressuring him to quit, he said no. Tomlin said stop, he did.

Juju hasn't changed how he approached the game or social media, he just got more fans.

Everyone ready to run him out of town is just over sensitive due to AB.
