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.

Excited to see the development of XL and Coker. 

Definitely need to address the position in the draft. Mingo is not a long term answer.

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.
