JuJu: Steelers should keep Brown and Bell, 'stop all the bull----'

Warning: Story contains coarse language

Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster hopes his team keeps wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le'Veon Bell this offseason, suggesting Pittsburgh has a Super Bowl-winning core if it can hang onto the two stars.

"I would have Le'Veon Bell as the running back - with James Conner," Smith-Schuster said on Wednesday's edition of NFL Network's "RapSheet and Friends" podcast. "I'd have AB stay on the other side, and man, we're winning the Super Bowl with the guys that we have, the guys that we keep. ...

"For me, it's more so like, man, let's keep the guys on the team and let's win the Super Bowl. Let's stop all the bull----."

Brown's been the subject of rampant trade speculation since his benching in the must-win season finale. He skipped practices ahead of the Week 17 game following a reported dispute with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Bell is set to enter free agency after sitting out the entire 2018 campaign without signing the Steelers' franchise tag.

Brown and Bell have combined for six All-Pro and 10 Pro Bowl selections over their careers.

Smith-Schuster earned his first Pro Bowl selection this year as a replacement for the injured Brown. He caught 111 passes for 1,426 yards and seven touchdowns in his sophomore season.
