maury77 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Suprisingly, there are stories coming out of Pittsburgh that the Steelers probably won't resign JJSS, who is a free agent after this year: https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/2020/05/02/options-for-pittsburgh-steelers-wr-juju-smith-schuster/ https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/news/256579/juju-smith-schuster-beat-writer-considers-it-unlikely-pit-re-signs-him.php If you weren't aware, Darnold & JJSS were teammates for 2 years at USC. JJSS is a big fan of Darnold (and apparently of Jamal Adams): https://www.newyorkjets.com/video/pro-bowl-wr-juju-smith-schuster-sam-darnold-is-a-great-locker-room-guy I would love to see Darnold throwing to JJSS and Mims for the next 5-6 years. Something to file away and keep an eye on. I fixed the title so some of you would not be so butt hurt. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snell41 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Juju had a great season as a #2 to one of the best WR’s in a decade. Once Brown was gone JuJu has been pedestrian. He’s a nice guy, does a lot of funny light hearted stuff that gets him attention, but much like Jamal Adams I think his social media presence gives him the national attention that makes people think he’s a lot better than he is. He can be a serviceable #2 but he’ll never duplicate his past performance. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trio of Mims, Juju and Crowder is a very nice WR corp. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jetstream23 Posted May 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2020 I'm getting a better sense about Joe Douglas that he really has some foresight for position availability in the coming years. It sounds like WRs are becoming similar to RBs and there could be some oversupply. Sure, the truly great ones will always be in high demand and make big $$, but Joe saw the market for Robby Anderson was less than people thought....yet still too rich for him. He threw $5M at Perriman. And then, in a Draft loaded with WRs, he plucked the one guy he wanted while some other teams went to the well over and over (ex. Raiders). Seeing Deandre Hopkins get traded for less than we thought was another indication of what is happening in the WR market I believe. WRs are going to hit the street soon. If not this year, then next year, as the NFL is absorbing multiple years of heavy WR draft classes. That large, talented 2014 WR group is now in the 26-28 year old range....right in their primes. Joe sees what's coming! He'll be ready once again to pay 70 cents on the $1 for very good WRs. We know they won't all work out but that's a big number! Essentially every single NFL team could have found a WR1, 2 or 3 in this most recent Draft. That pushes out some players. 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Very interesting. Seeing Hopkins traded makes me think sometimes having that #1 guy upsets the overall balance of the team. Sure, having them opens up other options but GOING to those other options seems to always upset these prima donnas & next thing you know their in the QBs ear. You win in this league with selfless play & everyone on board that winning is what matters forget individual statistics. I think it’s better to have 3 above average WRs instead of that 1 top guy. While Jet fans are not high on Perriman & Doctson, having the pressure alleviated by Mims taking on the #1 role could really catapult these guys. Plus we have Crowder in the slot & Herndon/Griffin at TE & Bell is insanely adept at catching balls out of the backfield. Again it’s the idea of the SUM OF ALL PARTS. Mims is like a bigger Steve Smith, Perriman is a much stronger Robbie, we already know Crowder just gets open & now as a domino Doctson working against 3rd & 4th CBs, Safeties, or abusing LBs trying to cover him. Sam should have plenty of weapons & none of them so special that their screaming for the ball. Just a group of good players encouraging each other, wanting to win & hopefully celebrating a lot of TDs spread out through the entire group. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR24 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Nah if we’re gonna trade significant draft capital/spend big money on a WR I’d rather spend it on a proven WR1. I like JuJu but the drop off in his production post Brown is alarming 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Wang Doodle Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 100% on board for JuJu. His down year can be attributed to injuries and the QBs he had to play with. Guy is a gamer, pure and simple. Can see the argument for not wanting to give up a bunch of draft capital to get him though, but if he ends up as a free agent, definitely want the Jets to pursue him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe really does have a plan. It's great to see. We're heading into Darnold's 3rd year. He's cheap this season and next. It's really during the 5th year option that his price would spike (if the Jets haven't extended him, although I'd expect they would have by then). 2021 feels like the year they might really try to go for it.

Wonderboy Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Why would the Steelers let juJu walk. makes no sense. They have no one to replace him and Antonio Brown is long gone and aint coming back. JuJU is one of the finest young wr's in the NFL. It would be asinine to let him leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of their best writers reported Pittsburgh is “unlikely to resign” him. If he hits the market you’d have to think Jets heavily pursue him. He had 1500 receiving yards two years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeet Ulrich Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Antonio Brown is a huge turd but he was 100% right on Juju - with AB gone he was highly mediocre(and yes I know Big Ben was injured all year).
