KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Exciting news for Kansas City Chiefs fans as the team has struck a deal with Juju Smith-Schuster, a familiar face in the NFL and previously played for the Chiefs in 2022. The agreement was made just one day before all NFL teams are required to finalize their 53-player rosters, according to a source familiar with the negotiations who spoke to The Associated Press.
Smith-Schuster was recently released from the Patriots despite having one more year left on his $25 million contract. During his time with the Chiefs in 2022, he proved to be a valuable asset, making key plays that helped the team secure a Super Bowl victory. His return to Kansas City is expected to provide a significant boost to the Chiefs’ wide receiver lineup, which struggled last season.
The Chiefs have been actively reshaping their receiving corps, signing Marquise Brown and drafting Xavier Worthy in an effort to enhance their offensive capabilities. However, injuries and legal issues have plagued some of their key players, leaving room for Smith-Schuster to step in and make an impact.
With a strong track record and veteran experience, Smith-Schuster is poised to make a significant contribution to the Chiefs’ offense. His Pro Bowl season in 2018 showcased his talent and playmaking abilities, making him a valuable addition to the team.
As the NFL season kicks off, Chiefs fans can look forward to seeing Smith-Schuster back in action, bringing his unique skill set to the field once again.
