Looks like he can help us lose some games. At least it's not Gordon right. That guy has to be worse.

Moncrief was Pitt's WR2 then.  He won't be our WR2.  Or WR3.

Gordon has 1 catch in a month.

And I know how with Cam you take the whole angle of "we dont know how Cam will return once he is healthy".  Gordon has been injured.  He hasn't had a productive NFL game in a while.  Thats not a risk worth taking, combined with how he started showing up late to team meetings, practices, etc.

He just wasn't worth it.  Moncrief will be depth that wont take snaps away from Moore/Samuel.

I don't see how Gordon would have been a better alternative.

In an awful year for both, Gordon has 20 catches for 297 yards and a TD. Moncrief has 4 catches for 18 yards.

He has a higher floor and ceiling than Moncrief. This only makes sense if they think Gordon has or will relapse because on the field he's better in every aspect, even now.

Now throw in injury concerns, poor effort concerns, and how he would take away snaps from Moore/Samuel who clearly still need the experience.  Just to leave at the end of the year.

We don't need a WR1.  We need a WR 3/4.  And the extra year on the contract (if he works out) is nice.

GAME RECAPS

2019 Week 1 vs NE (10 / 3 / 7 / 0 rec)

The next week for Donte Moncrief may be spent purely on the jugs machine. After being the most targeted wide receiver for the Steelers, Moncrief ended the night with at least four drops, including an 18-yard touchdown which was thrown perfectly. He also had a second end zone target where Ben Roethlisberger was not able to throw the fade route well enough and Moncrief could not get to his spot fast enough. Moncrief showed no tenacity when catching the ball and allowed defenders to separate him from the ball multiple times. The times Moncrief did catch the ball were on shallow crossing routes over the middle where defenders couldn't create contested catch situation. 

2019 Week 2 vs SEA (1 / 0 / 0 / 0 rec)

Being targeted only once should be bad enough for Moncrief, but he did maximum damage with his target on the day. On a routine catch, Moncrief missed the reception and tipped the ball in the air with a defender waiting behind him. The defender showed better hands than Donte Moncrief, securing the tipped ball and intercepting Mason Rudolph on his first drive. Moncrief was benched immediately. Moncrief's drop count currently rests at five going into Week 3.
