Jacoby Jones released..

[rmw10]

He's a Steeler now. Would love to hear him and Tomlin first convo.

I wasn't really interested in a reunion, but I really hate this. Jacoby doesn't belong in Pittsburgh. They know he has a Ravens tattoo, right?

[ravefan52]

Hmmm weird...

[redrum52]

Feel the same way

[Sunday QB]

The Steelers release Dri Archer for Jacoby Jones. wow!

[Inqui]

Yeah, I wasn't too stressed either way about whether we got him (would have been nice on the cheap, but I think Ozzie made the right call about cutting him and I'd have no complaints about letting him go elsewhere), but seeing him become a Steeler leaves a bad taste in my mouth. An underrated number of great memories of him come against the Steelers so it just doesn't feel right to see him join them.

[Inqui]

The Steelers release Dri Archer for Jacoby Jones. wow!

Ha! I remember their fans pumping him up as though he was going to take their offence over the top. Don't have to wonder how that worked out then.

[Deflated Football]

Wow. This one hurts. Maybe we paid Jacoby to sabotage the Steelers though. 

[Deflated Football]

I would sign Dri though to give our offense some serious speed. 

[Tank 92]

The world just tilted off it's axis. unbelievable.

[Raven552]

I hate this... the Steelers, of all teams.

[kennethyamini1989]

Of all the teams..the Steelers? WOW Jacoby..well guess the Ravens will be seeing you again. 

[ravensdfan]

This is just horrible. We could have grabbed him on the cheap - no reason not to.

 

blech!

[JoeyFlex5]

wow.... 

[K-Dog]

Oh Jacoby. I know ya gotta get paid but this hurts.

BTW I wonder if Tomlin is gonna walk out on the field any more.

[Nightman]

I hate this... the Steelers, of all teams.

Ironically the bar in Arlington where the DC/Nova Ravens Meetup Group watches games, has servers wearing Steeler gear and their fans at the bar while we have the end.  Its like being a Chicken served by Col.Sanders.  I might have to go the Raven bar in DC instead Mason Inn in Glover Park.  

[JO_75]

This is just horrible. We could have grabbed him on the cheap - no reason not to.

blech!

Unfortunately he never cleared waivers. Considering our record and Pittsburgh's record, we never put in acclaim for him. So the only way we would have signed him is if he cleared waivers.

So nothing we can do about it.

[DenverRaven]

Ironic, but he's been pretty bad outside of his stint with us.

 

Who knows, maybe he gifts us a fumble in a few weeks. He's always been prone to helping us out.

that is extremely true. 

 

it seems the ravens are the only team he wants to see do well

blech!

I think I could list a few reasons...

[FlocksGottaFeed]

The world just tilted off it's axis. unbelievable.

Absolutely...unbelievable. What a crazy season.

Well, in the words of the Maximus, "...Whatever comes out of that gate...the only way we survive is if we all stick together."

 

Say it ain't so Jacoby!

[Raven552]

So if he was claimed, he really had no choice, is that right?

[salamander]

Jacoby a Steeler? No stinking way I am happy Jacoby joining our #1 foe.

[jazz1988]

So if he was claimed, he really had no choice, is that right?

 

Right

[January J]

Could totally see in week 16 us being down 5 against the steelers with a few minutes left- kicking to Jacoby and him taking it out 7 yards deep....all of a sudden he just stops at the 3 yard line and flips the ball to Anthony Levine and he strolls in for the touchdown. Then Jacoby pulls up his sleeve exposing his Ravens tattoo and just pats on it signaling to the crowd at MnT.

Then he gets released immediately and we pick him up for the playoff run where he returns to 2012 form. Boom.

blech!

Maybe Jacoby was in Harbs' world famous doghouse

[sflegend89]

Why do people care that he's in Pittsburgh? Yeah it's weird but from a football perspective it means literally nothing. He didn't do anything of substance for us in 2014, he didn't do anything of substance as a Charger, he wouldn't have done anything of substance back in Baltimore, he won't do anything of substance in Pittsburgh. The KR is a dying role in today's NFL with all the touchbacks, AB is still their PR, it was more about them getting rid of Archer finally than getting anything significant in Jacoby.

 

Outside of the "weirdness" factor I don't see what the big deal is

That last sentence is all it is. From an on field perspective, I don't think anyone is too worried about Jacoby anymore. It's just... he shouldn't be there. Even though he was only here a short time, he's too much of a Raven to picture in a Steelers uniform.

[berad]

The Steelers claimed that contract? Yeesh.

[Shammy]
