Former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster could be looking for a new team soon.
PITTSBURGH -- JuJu Smith-Schuster has struggled to find his footing in the NFL since moving on from the Pittsburgh Steelers and he could be headed for a new team again this offseason, according to one beat writer covering his current team.as the new coaching staff looks for a fresh take on what's been a sluggish offense in the post-Tom Brady years.
"I don't really see a fit for JuJu here. I think Mayo talked about the competition in the room and definitely sort of a Belichick aquisition. Veteran guy that you know, you've seen, he's played games, stuff like that," Bedard said. "This is a different regime. JuJu Smith-Schuster, to me, is not a fit here anymore and I would be surprised if he's here all that much longer.
After averaging more than 1,000 yards and 8 touchdown receptions per 17 games during his first four seasons with the Steelers as a former second-round pick, Smith-Schuster played just five games in 2021. He revived his career in Kansas City, accounting for 933 yards and 3 touchdown receptions on the way to a Super Bowl ring.
But Smith-Schuster's one season with the Patriots was underwhelming - just 29 receptions on 47 targets, 260 yards and 1 touchdown. New England drafted a pair of receivers with their second and fourth-round picks during the 2024 draft to grow with their first-round pick, quarterback Drake Maye. As the Patriots get younger and Smith-Schuster gets older, he could be left on the outside, looking in at the receivers room in New England.Stephen Thompson graduated with a bachelor's degree in communications and political science from Pitt in April 2022 after spending four years as a sports writer and editor at The Pitt News, the University of Pittsburgh's independent, student-run newspaper.
