Breaking: FA WR JuJu Smith-Schuster is signing with the #Patriots<\/a> , sources tell @theScore<\/a><\/p>\n

Only 26 years old, the 2018 Pro Bowler comes off a strong season for the #Chiefs<\/a>, with 78\/933\/3.<\/p>\n

Juju was one of the better free agent wide receivers on the market. He now goes to a team that is desperately needing another offensive play-maker. New England have lost tight end Jonnu Smith to a trade with the Atlanta Falcons and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who signed a similar deal with the Las Vegas Raiders.<\/p>\n

Smith-Schuster has spent his entire career with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old receiver has been a consistent performer for his respected teams. In his career, he\u2019s racked up over 4,500 receiving yards and 29 touchdowns in his five seasons in the NFL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The signing of Smith-Schuster is a major additon for the Patriots, who have been looking to bolster their receiving corps after a disappointing 8-9 season in 2022. With quarterback Mac Jones set to be the starter for another season, Smith-Schuster could provide a much-needed spark to the team\u2019s passing game.<\/p>\n

The Patriots will hope Juju is what he once was back in Pittsburgh. He has dealt with many injuries in the past whcih is why he has not received a long term deal until this point. It will be intersting to see if the Patriots will add another reciving threat. A wide receiver like DeAndre Hopkins is on the trade market and New England is a possible landing spot for him. Houston Texans Brandon Cooks is also on the market so they could reunite him with the Pats.<\/p>\n

Even with this addition, the Patriots are not seen as favorites to win the AFC East according to Massachusetts sportsbooks<\/a>. The Bills are still in that division and the Miami Dolphins are emerging.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
