OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Congrats to KC, but Kelce was the real winner winning Swift

[Empoleon8771]

I don't know who Donte Jackson is

That's probably not encouraging for his value here.

 

[WickedWrister]

Ehhh not sure how to feel... he seems kind of mid and isn't that cheap

 

[JTG]

Wow. Diontae was worth nothing.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Whoah…

 

[WickedWrister]

Wow. Diontae was worth nothing.

Yeah the idea that we could've gotten a 2nd or 3rd for him was a bit much. Just look at the Jeudy, Cooper, Brandin Cooks trades

 

[Empoleon8771]

Yeah what this told me is that Johnson had very little value, which makes sense when you look at the Jeudy trade from a few days ago.

Meh, it's hard to get too mad. Jackson seems like more of a CB3 type of guy so I think a WR2 for a CB3 isn't all that unreasonable when you look at the current WR market.

 

[OnMyOwn]

yea that’s terrible. I know people don’t like DJ here but now we’re down to Pickens and pretty much nothing else.

Jackson isn’t gonna do much

 

[WickedWrister]

 

[TimmyD]

People thought this diva making $18 million who isn’t an elite game breaker could get a 2nd lol… Carolina will be a great fit for him. He will put up a bunch of meaningless number and never win, it’s a perfect fit for him

 

[bigdaddyk88]

They literally gave him away

 

[WickedWrister]

Add another branch to the Santonio Holmes trade tree!

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think they should be aiming for higher than Jackson to play opposite of Porter Jr. Don't mind the pickup but I'm not sure that Jackson is as good as I want from the CB opposite of Porter Jr.

They'll almost definitely sign someone in free agency and use a high pick on another WR this year.

[Captain Hook]

I guess Authur Smith really didn't want Dionta. Small WRs that don't block are awful fits for his offense.

I love signings like Queen. Super young, coming off their rookie deal and with a lot of their best years still ahead.

 

[Coastal Kev]

He ran his mouth about Mason being the QB,,,,, both him and Chuks challenged Tomlin and both are now gone

Agreed. Sounds like we might restructure his contract to bring down that cap hit.

WR class is absolutely loaded this year. Might see 15 guys go first two rounds

 

[Coastal Kev]

Bet Tyler Boyd is coming

 

[OnMyOwn]

Dude is really fast. So I’ll at least give him that. He probably is slotted in to be the other starter, but I was hoping for a better option.

 

[Peat]

Trade! The #Steelers are sending WR Diontae Johnson to the #Panthers for CB Donte Jackson and a pick swap, per sources.

If nothing else, I love that the name swap. It's like they told Diontae to go away so he came back wearing a moustache pretending to be a CB. "Diontae Johnson? No no. I'm Donte Jackson. Totally different man!"

 

[WickedWrister]

Bet Tyler Boyd is coming

I would bet my left nut we're getting Mack Hollins now.

 

[Snooki Stackhouse]

I wasn’t a fan of Johnson. Great route runner but there was always something missing. A drop, a low effort play, whatever. That said, he was decent enough to be missed and they need to find a #2 guy at least now.

 

[bigdaddyk88]

I would bet my left nut we're getting Mack Hollins now.

Mack made 1 million in Atlanta he is a non factor

 

[Empoleon8771]

I mean, honestly yeah this.

 

[ziggyjoe212]

Not sure if this is good value for DJ. On the other hand we're much better at developing WR's than CB's. And now we have 2 starting caliber CB's.

 

[bigdaddyk88]

The cb coming off an torn achilles, that was bottom five in all coverage stats and Carolina was going to cut
