UPDATE: Well, this is strange. Schefter basically immediately reversing course.
In this case, JuJu Smith-Schuster’s agent called the Eagles to gauge their interest; those were the discussions. The Eagles did not wind up courting him. JuJu back to Pittsburgh, which was what he wanted. https://t.co/IWTvGIfzxs

ORIGINAL STORY BELOW.
The Philadelphia Eagles haven’t been very active in free agency, to no surprise, but apparently not for a total lack of effort.
The Eagles actually offered “more money” on a multi-year deal to free agent wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who returned to the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year, $8 million contract on Friday morning.
