As Jesse James’ career went on, he became a reliable member of this Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense. But adding Vance McDonald has proven to kill the possibility of James becoming a regular start for this team, putting questions from both parties on the line when deciding about the future.
For James, he may want to compete for a starting job. He receives solid playing time for a backup tight end, but he’s been a strong enough piece that he likely could find himself somewhere working as their primary end.
For the Steelers, they have to consider whether or not they’re going to approach a tight end in the draft or if they’d like to keep James around for the future.
