The New England Patriots have decided to part ways with wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, multiple reports confirm. Smith-Schuster, who signed a three-year contract with the Patriots last offseason, failed to make a significant impact during his time with the team. Despite being guaranteed $16 million, Smith-Schuster was buried on the depth chart and only managed to catch 29 passes for 260 yards with one touchdown in his lone season with New England.
The Patriots will take on a dead money charge of $9.6 million this year and $2.6 million next year due to Smith-Schuster's release. The decision to release him opens up the possibility for another team to potentially trade for the receiver, but with a guaranteed salary of $7 million in 2024, it seems unlikely that a deal will materialize.
Smith-Schuster, a former Pittsburgh Steeler, joined the Chiefs in 2022 and helped them win Super Bowl LVII before signing with the Patriots. Despite his past success, injuries limited his playing time last season. The Patriots' move to release Smith-Schuster comes after their unsuccessful attempt to acquire Brandon Aiyuk from the San Francisco 49ers, who reportedly declined a long-term deal with New England.
As the Patriots look to move on from JuJu Smith-Schuster, it remains to be seen where the talented wide receiver will land next and if he can regain his previous form with a new team.
