What everyone seems to be missing here, is all Deebo had to do was bide his time and be a good teammate as the team makes a push in the playoffs. This is the franchise that's had his back and brought him back on a two-year contract. Injuries can happen in the blink of an eye, he could have been on the field in the playoffs with a team contending for the SB. He's 39 years old for Christ's sake, all time franchise sack leader, SB hero, a true legend...what does he have to prove? His role was his role, given the players in front of him. You think the Steelers would be stupid enough not to play him if he brought more to the table than Watt or Dupree? Of course not. So he slid into a backup role, a perfect one at that for a player of his age and stature. He could have gone out the right way, the Steelers way, pushing the young LB's and the defense to a championship. And again, who says the Steelers would not have put him on the field if it made sense against a particular LT or an offense they happened to be facing?
But no, Deebo got stupid and selfish and made this about him. No way the locker room turns on a guy with his legendary status unless he was being an outright *******. Based on how players are reacting, that seems to be the case. It's too bad, his ego got the best of him. He forced his way off the team two weeks before the playoffs then signs with our biggest adversary on the planet. Harrison became a troll, at the worst possible moment, at the twilight of his career. It did not have to end this way. There is nobody to blame but Deebo himself. It's too ******* bad because he was a stud for so many years.
