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: Steelers ‘Exploring Trade Options’ For Antonio Brown; Return Possible
The Antonio Brown saga continues to be one of the biggest stories in the NFL long after the Pittsburgh Steelers’ last snap of the season. The story continues to unfold as the league heads into Super Bowl weekend, with NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reporting that the Steelers are “exploring trade options” for the disgruntled wide receiver. On the other side of the coin, Rapoport reported that Brown also has not ruled out a return to the Steel City.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in danger of missing the playoffs after their loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, and JuJu Smith-Schuster is putting the blame on himself.

Mike Tomlin Has Cryptic Response About Martavis Bryant’s Future With Steelers
It doesn’t seem like Martavis Bryant and the Pittsburgh Steelers are anywhere close to mending fences. The fourth-year wide receiver has been frustrated with his role in the Steelers’ offense this season and reportedly requested a trade out of Pittsburgh. Bryant’s reported trade request apparently didn’t go over too well with the Steelers, as he was benched for the team’s “Sunday Night Football” game against the Detroit Lions. Following Pittsburgh’s 20-15 win, head coach Mike Tomlin wasn’t very interested in divulging into Bryant’s inactivity and also wasn’t willing to commit to the 25-year-old being in the Steelers’ plans mov...
