Some thoughts on the New England Patriots’ signing of free agent wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster:
1) With the loss of Jakobi Meyers to the Raiders on Tuesday, the Patriots were in need of finding someone to do all the dirty work that Meyers did in the offense, while picking up the slack left behind by the former undrafted free agent receiver.
The departed free agent had been the club’s most productive player the last few years, and the Patriots seemed to have a pretty decent gap to fill.
