JuJu Silences FA Rumors

[Steeler Nation]

By: Sean McGeown, @seanpmcgeown SteelerNation.com The wounds are still fresh after the*Pittsburgh Steelers*wild card playoff loss to the*Cleveland Browns*Sunday night. However, as we all know the minute the season is over, teams are going to have players available on the free agent market. A tough position for both teams and players. This off-season, Pittsburgh wide […]

I like Juju, though he needs to avoid social media and the tick toc ****. that said he will be elsewhere next year as the Steelers cannot afford.

I hope they can keep him. Dude is tough as nails and is the closest thing we've had to Hines since he retired. JuJu proved his worth to the Steelers this year by doing whatever was necessary. Sure, he could put up better numbers elsewhere but I hope we can keep him. And, for you Bud lovers that hated him for 3 years until he learned to play, NO, he is not coming back unless we get him on a cheap prove it deal. JuJu, Claypool, Diontae and Washington are probably the best 1 through 4 WR's in the league. The best 1 through 3 are in Tampa even though it pains me to say that.

Very good player...too much ego-tripping.

 

[BLITZ]

I like JuJu want him back if the price is right. but from a business standpoint why would he comment on not wanting to leave ?

 

[F83]

great player just needs to mature and realize this year how much hos social media impacted that put a target on his head and the team.

To the TikTok JuJu don't stop.

So what JuJu likes to get on social media and have fun. The dude is still a kid. 4 years in the league and he was still our, what, 2nd youngest WR. He has nowhere near the ego of AB or any of the countless WR's in this league.. His ego is actually on the lower end of the scale when it comes to WR's. I hope they can sign him but unless something changes with the cap, we won't be signing anyone without cutting several other players. I honestly have no idea how we get under the cap next year considering we were already going to be over it before it was cut and before we signed any of our own 19 UFA's. This team will look nothing like it did this year. Even cutting the big cap hitters like Ben, Pouncey, DeCastro and a couple others still leaves a ton of dead money so it buys you a little but not enough to field a legit playoff contender.

And, I don't think our coaches are good enough to coach up and utilize a ton of rookies, practice squad players and other teams cast offs.

Hope they can retain him, how many of us can say we didn't do stupid things in our early 20's?

I guess he loves it in Pittsburgh. Probably because they have the best fans.[emoji16]

He’s not a kid. He’s a multi millionaire 21? Year old man that needs to stop creating distractions

Good player with a great ego. Needs to become a great player with a good ego.

 

[jitter77]

JuJu does a lot of things in the community so even though he may have a big ego he does not seem arrogant.

Ummmmmmm I think he is 24 years old.

He could benefit from a Hines-type big brother to show him how to carry himself on and off the field, but this generation is all about the facetime, social media, being carefree and living their best life. He has money and fame at a very young age. He's not really breaking any laws or hurting anyone. He's ticking people off, but it's over dumb stuff. "Get off my lawn" crap that a 30, 40 y.o. wouldn't do.
From a football standpoint, I like his toughness and he's rather consistent. I wouldn't break the bank to keep him, but to retain him for another 4 years at a reasonable price, sure!

But what is a reasonable price? In past years lesser WRs have gotten some fat contracts.

let me call Omar Khan. . . I'll be right back with you.

seriously, I would be hesitant to give him a fat contract, Fair, of course. I don't want him in line for food stamps.
