The only weird thing to me is how everyone was saying how good of a teammate he was when it seemed the writing was on the wall due to his increasing negativity. 

They are all in the same boat though. Probably some commiseration going on.

Thielen was vocal and demonstrative too, just didn't get busted quitting on Andy.

Sucks we didnt have a team ready to compete because of Bust Young.....

I liked the couple of games where he was engaged with Dalton after that he was ready to gtfoh and who can really blame him

can't blame him for sure, but it also makes me appreciate guys like Chuba who still puts in 110% every game and snap.

Well, yeah, it is a no win. When they gave him WRs, after hearing all the complaining about them for a year, he wasn't ready to use them. 

It was what I used to think when people said we didn't have any fast WRs that could get open deep. I was like, so?

maybe he is generally a good teammate and liked.....maybe Canales couldn't handle him.  That IMO seems like a reasonable assumption.  Think Sheena or someone basically hinted at that too.  His issues in Pitt seemed to of also been more Tomlin related than pure teammate related. 

and on top of that, rookie HCs sometimes are weird as they try to learn and build there own. I'm 100000% convinced that is why Cam Newton had to go when Rhule came here.  Rhule was such a buffoon and ignorant....he didn't want to deal w/ a loud vocal vet who knew stuff. 

Dionate came from one of the best orgs in all of football.  Maybe Canales didn't like his straight talk about there being some issues that he couldn't fix.  He can only play WR.  Maybe Canales only wants bologna sunshine guys.

Dennis and Chris had a point on 99.9 The Fan. 

The trade is a reflection of what the NFL thinks his value is worth. Morgan can't control what other teams are offering. 

I mean the option is to keep him for him to walk anyways and then we MAYBE get a comp pick for 2026. All you do until then is take reps from Coker and Legette.

Maybe

But you have to think the Steelers were willing to part with him for an injury prone Jackson. (This is before Jackson was doing as well as he is this season). They were willing to part with him for that. 

Wasn't there a bunch of Pittsburgh fans pissed off because he refused to jump on fumbles and stuff? or some other similar issue.

Tomlin don't like the bologna.  And I think it's clear, Johnson was doing things that wouldn't please his coaches in Pitt.  Effort and complaints.   But his teammates could of still liked him.

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.

      Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
