Tk3 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 It's good "value" for Juju for the Steelers But they don't have the space for it That money is going to come from their secondary (according to Rappaport) It's a good deal, but they have other receiving options. They need to maintain that defense if they want a chance and also to rebuild that o-line I just don't see how this is the optimal use of their limited dollars 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to run it essentially run it back without their best OT, RB, 2 of their 3 best CB, 2nd best EDGE rusher, center, and a deteriorating quarterback. I'm not even trolling. I don't get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a guy who thrived under single coverage because everybody was paying attention to Brown, but struggled as a #1 with Ben - I think your optimal decision is to go to the best offense in the league and thrive as a guy who is going to constantly be open. If I had the choice of 80 single coverage targets in the Mahomes/KC offense or 120 targets in the Ben/Pit offense, I think its easy to me which one is going to make him more money He needs a revival season, not another season like his 2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 If I'm guessing - he's taking a one year flyer with team team he's familiar with to hit the market NEXT year with all that new TV money. Learning a new system with a new QB could mess with his production. He knows Pittsburgh's offense and he knows Ben, so his production should stay consistent, setting him up for a HUGE payday. Sure, KC or Baltimore could have given more money, but there's downside in regards to his production. That's lessened in Pittsburgh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tk3 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 It's cool that he took less to stay in a city and on a team he likes.. I dig it for him, even if I think it was a sub-optimal career decision More players should do that tbh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it's bold to assume that a Ben that's ANOTHER year older and an offensive line/running game that will presumably be even worse is going to give him a better season than what he had in 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens - More money, but primarily blocking, new system. Chiefs - More money (if you hit incentives), clear #3 target though, new system. Steelers - Less money, familiarity with system, most opportunities to produce IF things go well. IMO Pittsburgh does make the most sense when you think about it. There's no real perfect option of those potential teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Remember when JuJu announced he wasn't coming back to Pittsburgh..... just over a week ago. Good times. Edited March 19, 2021 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Baltimore, he's taking a backseat to the run game. In Pitt - even with Ben and a declining run game - he's the focal point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJaxxenGuy Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Ravens are playing the long game of making the fans beg before they sign Antonio Brown. I’m already begging EDC, just pull the trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
