Should Steelers Bring Back JuJu Smith-Schuster If Released?

Should the Steelers bring back WR JuJu Smith-Schuster if the Patriots release him?

The Steelers lost a clear-cut starter when they traded Diontae Johnson, and have not added a replacement since then. They have endeavored to acquire candidates, most notably third-round selection Roman Wilson, but none that are a sure bet. Former Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster doesn’t fall into that category, either.

However, that doesn’t mean there’s no reason for the Steelers to consider a reunion. As with everything else, it hinges on the price tag, and this may be academic to begin with. The Patriots owe Smith-Schuster his $7 million base salary, which they guaranteed.
