Wonder if DJ is going to be a holdout. Homeboy drops crucial passes and cant consistently get open. Let someone else pay him $20m. Then again, if we draft QB rd 1 this year, I doubt Ill care much about what this team does the next several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am remembering correctly, the rules now in the CBA make it really, really hard to be a hold out. Or, I guess, really, really expensive to hold out. Personally, I don't read too much into the DJ skipping Trubisky's BBQ. Dudes go their separate ways in the off-season and as long as their still working, I don't really care. I do think its awesome when guys come together, but I also don't knock them if they don't. These off-season get togethers are far more important for team building than they are skill building. As long as DJ and Mitch(ell) get together for a beer once they get to Pittsburgh, it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotrac is listing around $60M but it’s also using a fairly conservative cap number. Minkah and DJ will probably both see extensions with lower year 1 hits. I’m guessing extension over tag for DJ because IMO they will not pick up Bush’s 5th year, but might reserve the right to maintain in him if he turns it around. Nothing but blue skies and flexibility our cap future though (but that’s also not a great thing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theirs years FA additions really show how the Steelers do they deals…real low year 1 cap hits followed by their 2nd year hit doubling or tripling year 1s hit…almost like option years…everyone they signed or resigned in Witherspoon and Chuks case is like that.

So the reason I disagree here is Mitch is gonna have better chemistry with guys that showed up. And it’s not the big stuff, it’s the Little things of depth, the ball popping off the hand, the rotation. Add in to be a leader DJ needs to be at these things or when he struggles again guys who were at it will ask why he gets all the slack.

Both of these guys are multi-year professionals. I am far more concerned about both of them being on the same page on sight adjustments and coverage options that takes live action reps. If Johnson decides to skip all of OTA's with a new QB and a (mostly?) new offensive system, then I would be concerned. Learning how quickly Mitch hits the hitch, how fast a ball gets on you, and when he looks to release the ball on air is one/two rep type stuff. But being on the same page on when to gear down a route across the middle, depth based on coverage change, or when to stem on an option are the important chemistry pieces -- and also the stuff they didn't get opportunity to work on last week. 17 minutes ago, warfelg said: Add in to be a leader DJ Just my .02 but DJ isn't the offensive leader and I am not sure I want him to be. Judging simply by the way he talks, emotions on the sideline and the field showing through at times, and his history of winning expectations -- I think it's Najee.
