Chiefs to Sign JuJu Smith-Schuster to One-Year Deal, Reuniting with Former Team

Aug 26, 2024, 01:09 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to sign wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to a one-year deal, marking a reunion with the team. Smith-Schuster, a former Pro Bowl player, previously played for the Chiefs and won a Super Bowl with them in 2022 before joining the New England Patriots. The Chiefs are likely acquiring him at a veteran minimum salary of $1.21 million for 2024, as the Patriots are responsible for $7 million minus his earnings elsewhere this season. This move is seen as a strategic addition to bolster the Chiefs' offensive lineup, providing quarterback Patrick Mahomes with a familiar and trusted target.
