The colors and logo might not be the only changes to JuJu Smith-Schuster’s jersey in the upcoming NFL season.
A new jersey number also could be on the horizon for Smith-Schuster, who signed a three-year free-agent deal with the Patriots after a successful season with the Chiefs. The veteran wide receiver rocked No. 9 for Kansas City in 2022, but that number is occupied in Foxboro by arguably New England’s best player, Matthew Judon.
In a recent 98.5 The Sport Hub interview, Smith-Schuster claimed he wouldn’t pay upward of $100,000 to pry the number away from Judon.
