McDaniel sounds noncommittal about Claypool after trading for him lol. 

Well, it being Miami and all, they probably just really needed a Clay-pool boy and since Chase doesn't care about his job as a football player, he is as qualified as anyone for the job

Actually Miami has some really nice team-inspired blouses they need a male model for.

Except the thing that Tomlin is so good about is that he keeps absolutely everything in house. So you don’t really know who is a malcontent and to what level. 

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t remember much of this or the off-season stuff coming out even when they were looking to trade him. It was more like they had to pick between Dionte and Claypool to pay, because they just drafted Pickens. And as tantalizing as the Claypool traits were, he is not Dionte Johnson. (Plus the tools of Claypool and Pickens cross more than with Dionte)

It turns out to be a very bad trade for us, would have likely been bad even if he just left in the offseason without all the hoopla, but you can see why we took the risk. Even though everyone acknowledged that it was likely too steep a price even in the moment. 

There were many rumors and many Pittsburgh fans celebrated when he was put up to be traded and were flabbergasted he got a 2nd.  

It was people outside that didn’t know and were excited because he is a high level talent.
