Chiefs bringing JuJu Smith-Schuster back to loaded WR room – but why?

The Kansas City Chiefs are adding veteran depth to a position where they don't seemingly need it – at least not in the long run.

Nevertheless, former Pro Bowl wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is returning to the two-time defending champions – he played for the Super Bowl 57 champions during the 2022 season – according to multiple reports. He caught 78 balls for 933 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games that year.

Smith-Schuster, 27, was released earlier this month by the New England Patriots, for whom he played in 2023, snagging 29 receptions for 260 yards and one score in seven games.
