Experts view JuJu Smith-Schuster as most ‘head-scratching signing’ of free agency

The Patriots surprised many this offseason when they essentially swapped Jakobi Meyers for JuJu Smith-Schuster.

New England let Meyers sign a three-year, $33 million deal with the Las Vegas Raiders and proceeded to bring Smith-Schuster in on a three-year, $33 million deal of his own.

Many have questioned the decision, including former Patriots Devin McCourty and Tedy Bruschi.

“That better be just the start,” Bruschi said. “Because there is no cornerback in the AFC East that’s looking at that move is scared.”

Bruschi said Mac Jones needs more wide receivers who are reliable and can create separation.
