    So what’s the deal with this guy? He was a stud in Pittsburgh but after being traded away apparently he lost his super powers?? Or is he a head case diva?

    We just need him for about 6 games so maybe he can screw it on for a few weeks.

    What do you want? Its week 16 and we are down multiple receivers. Its a couple games. He's not physically cooked like OBJ. He's dumb, but can potentially have 1 decent game by the end of the year.

    He was a Pro Bowl-caliber catch machine out of the slot w/ Pittsburgh, signed a free agent deal w/ Carolina last offseason who traded him to Baltimore for whatever they could get at the deadline once it was clear they should be sellers and punt on this season. Not sure what the bad blood was about in Baltimore other than The Ravens have a long history of utilizing TE’s more than WRs and obviously passing isn’t the 1st option for a Lamar Jackson offense. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t, but I can’t imagine a better option out there this late in the season. Had a reputation in Pittsburgh for making a lot of catches, but rarely in the endzone

    It has been ages since he last played with a qb that throws him a "friendly ball" and it shows. his catch % dropped with the retirement of Big B.

    He has to treat this as his last opportunity or end up like AB. And he ain't no master troll like AB

    The bad blood comes from when he refused to enter a game against philly. He was cut for that.

    He really is, unfortunately. At end of the season, its really slim pickings. Its the shells of Odell Beckham, Michael Thomas, then Chase Claypool, Kadarius Toney flamouts, maybe a flyer on Hunter Renfrow. Essentially nothing after that. Beckham might actually be the safest of them all

    I mean we all wanted to trade for him before he went to Baltimore. Hopefully he doesn’t act up

    This dude is a cancer. If you can’t be happy in Baltimore, I have zero expectations that he can be happy here.

    They didn't have a choice with the Tank injury. He's got talent and he's not going to get any better chances. Worth the flyer

    Give him a chance. A change of scenery can make a world of difference

    This is a total "why the hell not?" move.
