New England Patriots’ Former $25 Million WR Set to Hit Open Market
The veteran wide receiver is heading back to free agency after 11 games in New England last season and a knee injury limited his impact.
- On Tuesday, the New York Giants released veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster following the team's signing of running back Najee Harris.
- New York signed Smith-Schuster on June 2, but a knee injury sustained during training camp limited his availability for the upcoming season.
- Over nine NFL seasons, Smith-Schuster compiled 481 receptions for 5,624 yards and 33 touchdowns, recording 345 yards and one touchdown on 33 receptions last year with the Kansas City Chiefs.
- Smith-Schuster now enters free agency, with the Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, and Las Vegas Raiders emerging as potential landing spots for the veteran playmaker.
- Although the New England Patriots remain a logical link due to his history in Foxborough, a reunion appears unlikely given the depth chart featuring Brown, Romeo Doubs, and DeMario Douglas.
