Well, considering Schefter and other legit sources have pretty much confirmed that AJ is all but gone at this point. The attitude and cryptic messages have gotten old. Guy has been so selfish since winning it all getting mad when they win if he doesnt get his numbers. They're just waiting until after June 1st to reduce the dead cap hit. They'll get pick(s) for the 2027 draft in return most likely.

Also, considering they added Wicks, Hollywood, and Moore this offseason as well.

New offense under Mannion is expected to use the middle of the field more (thank god). Also, under center more frequently. Makes sense that they add a player like him. That makes two Biletnikoff Award winners on the Eagles now

Lemon has elite ball tracking and route running. Pair that up with DeVonta, who is as good a route runner as there is in the league, and we've got ourselves some guys who will have defenders touching earth in a blender lol!!



Won't stay healthy.

Uh, no. They were absolutely targeting him...

And yeah, they called him on draft night to "bait teams" make that make sense....

Anyways

While the Cowboys were on the clock at 20, the Steelers were on the phone with USC WR Makai Lemon and planning to select him at 21, but didn’t know the Eagles traded ahead of them to take him.

“Let me set the scene for you. The Dallas Cowboys were on the clock at 20 with everyone knowing they were going defense. The Pittsburgh Steelers get on the phone with Makai Lemon, planning to select him next at 21, except what they didn’t know is the Eagles had actually traded up over them, were trying to get in touch with Lemon, but he wasn’t answering because he was already on the phone with the Steelers. In the end, the Eagles do the trade. They get Makai Lemon and the Steelers grab a tackle right after.”

Video footage shows Lemon on the phone with Steelers GM Omar Khan when his agent interrupts and tells him that Philadelphia traded up for him.

“Hey, why is Philly calling me?”

Agent: “Philly just traded for you.”

Getting rid of AJ
Draft a WR
Make Smith #1

Pick makes sense.
Use FA to shore up either DL or OL and draft the other side.
Maybe snag a linebacker.

That's nuts if true. Not because of the phone call, but because why would the Steelers be drafting a slot receiver when they have Pittman?

One of their OLine just had possibly life altering surgery. That would have been a terrible pick if they didn't get that OT. Not saying lemon wouldn't be good, but they already have a pure slot wr

The route running between DeVonta and Lemon is going to be a thing of beauty.

There's video of the whole thing online. It's true. His family celebrating and all when the Steelers called him 😂

Bottom 5 passing offence. The offence is gonna be dogshit this year buddy

all they need is more Tush Push.

O line isnt what it use to be.
