If this article about Diontae Johnson is true......what a disaster.

Yeah, this is why it's dumb to throw money at "maybe" players because "who else do we have." When does "who else do we have" ever work out in our favor?

What'd I say in the preseason? Why are we paying this guy when we just drafted two WRs, including one who ought to be a #1? We have a whole year, why not wait and see.

Oh no no no no no, everybody else is definitely going to be hot garbage, you can't go into the season like that, we MUST have Johnson locked in long-term, so glad you aren't the GM. Johnson has Experience and Stability, are you just gonna leave a rookie QB with Pickens as his main weapon (even though DJ is still under contract)???? So glad you aren't the GM.

Yeah, that's sure looking brilliant. Never gonna get the egg off my face from that one.

DJ is a good WR2. He just needs a real QB1 throwing him the ball.

I’m not seeing the disaster part? He just seems like a typical overpaid WR that’s getting frustrated with the offense and target share.

This is the kind of stuff that happens when you’re a loser franchise…

If people found out that Heyward had punched Reed in the head and told him he sucks and should retire, they’d wanna throw a parade.

But it’s a mouthy WR, so here we go with the toxic narrative.

He's not even that. He's got a lighter version of AB's attitude with a much lighter version of his skills. It was easy to look the other way when AB was driving 100 mph, throwing couches off balconies, misplacing $80K in cash because he was catching everything thrown his way with his helmet, hands, feet and scoring TD's. DJ is doing none of that but somehow his mouth thinks he can write checks his body can't cash (love Top Gun).

Yes he has a rookie QB and a non existent offensive coordinator, but for someone cashing a check that big he needs to keep his mouth shut and work harder.

I realize he's this week's whipping boy, but he's a 2 by anyone's measurement.

KP is a real QB1, he’s just in his rookie season, if you mean a QB1 on a contender then trade him, but the Steelers should get something of equal potential in return, I see Claypool flourishing like Juju with a Mahomes or Allen or Burrow, so Steelers should get a decent return if he’s traded

Pickett needs a real offensive coordinator and a good QB coach. Most experienced offensive coordinators will know the limits of their rookie QB and design an offense for them. And as the QB grows so will the offense.

Pickett has NONE of these right now and having childish receiver like DJ in the locker room doesn't help.

agree, an OC and QB are top priority, if the Rooney’s want to be successful they should shell out the bucks to get the best OC and QB coach available. Just saying they should know the real value of guys like Claypool (who’s also hampered by the system) and make a smart trade to help the offense (if they make a trade).

i think they have the QB1 already
