Ah, the time-honored “rookie dinner.” A meal that could cost first-year guys upwards of 65 grand is very well what Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool and his fellow rookie class could be facing this weekend.
Claypool has since removed the actual tweet he posted Thursday — he may have gotten a lot of heat for the large gathering that team dinners entail — so we’re thankful to Sunday Night Football for grabbing it.
In jest, Chase tagged the Titans, asking them to pay up for this weekend’s annual rookie dinner.
As we all know by now, there was a COVID outbreak in Tennessee Titans camp that started Tuesday and has gotten worse by the day.
The Steelers-Titans matchup has since been rescheduled for Week 7.
If the vets can avoid ordering a dozen bottles of 10-year-old cabernet, the six rooks may get off light.
