    Then, I would seriously consider lots of 3TE offense with Green, Njoku, and James with Bell and Brown...
    Tremendous possibilities. Especially when you get in the red zone.

      James is a nice TE, nothing special in today's NFL and i like the guy but you have to be objective. the reason people like the idea of having a special athlete at TE is because they have seen what one can do nowadays. most everything I have read on njoku says elite athlete, probable 10 year starter if he remains healthy
      When a player knows he can't cut it as a major contributor but he wants to front like he can, that is stealing money. He's misleading the front office and coaches.

          He wasn't a major contributor when he played last season?
          Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

          Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

          We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

          We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

            He's probably the only offensive player I'd be happy with at 30.

              You can't be a major contributor when your always concussed. A player has to "stay around" to be a major contributor.

                  if what you say is a fact, and he has been delting with this for three years, then its the steelers who are at fault for signing him. if he's been able to keep getting signed to contracts in this league by fronting like he wants to play, then he should move to Hollywood

                  the stealing money angle is one of the silliest I have seen in awhile when its the team who holds the purse strings. the steelers can draft or sign his replacement and cut him at any time they choose

                      Your right that at the end of the day, because of our front office not taking his concussion history seriously enough, it is their fault. But the player is also misleading the front office with his words by saying, " I'll be okay" when he knows he won't. Players who keep constantly getting concussed at the rate he's getting concussed seldom, if ever become major factors contributors with Wes Welker being a prime example. Once Welker kept getting concussed at an alarming rate, he too wasn't brought back by any team.
