You fuckin' guys are hilarious!

this fucking place, man.

LOL

Well, he is.

We are discussing the individual's athletic ability, right?

Athletic ability isn't determined by stats and years played.

I assume a 102 yard kick return doesn't count

IDK dude.

You watch that clip I just posted of him dusting the entire 49ers secondary.

Pringle never does shit like that. He's good at catching the ball and falling down.

Soooo basically JuJu let Veach fuck him dry just to get the opportunity to stat pad with a future HOF QB for a year

We literally might have the greatest GM in football.

Chris guys please stop comparing Juju to Byron. Juju is a household name and for good reason. No one outside of the KC fanbase has any damn clue who Byron Pringle is.

But other people have been successful in that offense with the same QB, so let's knock off the "he sucked because of Ben" nonsense.

Your entire narrative is built around last season where JuJu played 5 games.

He just had 830 yards and 9 TDs 2 years ago.

This year, he’s was injured, and the Steelers have 2 really young talented WRs that they make more of an effort to get the ball to.

No, JuJu is not as young and talented as those 2 guys.

But he’s much better than Zay Jones and Byron Pringle.

And again, under this structure it's a fair trade.

Okay, you don't want a LTC deal? Cool - I don't want to guarantee your $10 million then.

We meet in the middle, guarantee only a small fraction of it, get that same year 1 cap relief by plowing the remainder into NLTBE incentives and we move along.

This is a DAMN sight more palatable than $10+ million on a make-good deal.

And it's also why I'm not sure why everyone was so certain it was an amazing deal when it was announced. Most of y'all would get absolutely barbecued at a negotiating table, wouldn't you? It wasn't an amazing deal at $10 million guaranteed and hopefully the demonstration of what a fair deal in this scenario actually is helps some recognize that fact.

I mean Juju is smart here. He's banking on his stats being improved because of Mahomes. He'll turn that into a long term deal with someone else next offseason.

3M base and the rest in incentives is quite different.

It’s not 10 million guaranteed…

Makes a bit more sense that it's an incentive-laden contract. Makes me wonder, now, if the Chiefs were less interested in a long-term deal than JuJu.

Dude played 5 games when Pitt’s offense was also at it’s worst.

Outside of his TD total in 2020, his 2019 and 2020 seasons weren't exactly special - but you knew that already.
