JuJu Smith-Schuster already appears happy with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ present squad. In reality, he thinks the staff already is meshing effectively collectively months earlier than the 2019 season even kicks off. “The chemistry is on point,” Smith-Schuster instructed reporters Wednesday per ESPN. “Everyone is on the same page. Everyone is communicating. There’s really no — how do you say? — drama in our locker room.” Considering the pot continues to be being stirred by ex-Steelers huge receiver Antonio Brown following his departure from Pittsburgh, drama is the very last thing the Black and Gold want behind the scenes. Despite that small blip on their radar, Smith-Schuster, who will take over Brown’s position as high receiver on the staff come September, mentioned he

NFL Rumors: Malcolm Butler Benching ‘Divided’ Patriots Locker Room
Bill Belichick’s decision to bench cornerback Malcolm Butler in Super Bowl LII will be one of the most talked about storylines of the NFL offseason, and it could be one with far-reaching ramifications for the New England Patriots. An earlier report Monday suggested that Butler’s benching in the Patriots’ 41-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles was a “perfect storm of issues,” with his illness, poor play and a missed curfew playing a role. However, a different report from WEEI’s Kirk Minihane suggests that Belichick’s decision was not a disciplinary action, and that his decision was sudden and had a severe impact on New England’s locker...

Titans, Seahawks Stay In Locker Room During National Anthem In Unprecedented Moment
There was an unprecedented scene before the Seattle Seahawks-Tennessee Titans game at LP Field on Sunday. In response to President Donald Trump’s call to “fire” any player who protests during the national anthem, both the Seahawks and Titans released separate statements saying they would not be coming onto the field for the anthem.

Mike Krzyzewski Reportedly Bans Players From Locker Room, Wearing Duke Apparel
The 2016-17 Duke Blue Devils just can’t stop tripping over themselves. Yes, we mean that in the literal sense with Grayson Allen, but also as a description of how the team has fared so far in Atlantic Coast Conference play. The Blue Devils already have four conference losses, their latest of which came at home Monday against North Carolina State. No. 17 Duke (15-5) suddenly is in danger of falling out of the rankings due to their sudden dip, and head coach Mike Krzyzewski apparently has seen enough. Krzyzewski technically is on a leave of absence after having back surgery, but that didn’t stop him from informing the players during a meetin... NESN.com
