The New England Patriots added some JuJu to the receiver corps and have no partnered him with QB Brock Purdy.
The Pats are expected to sign WR JuJu Smith-Schuster on a three-year, $33 million deal, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network’s Taylor Bisciotti reported, per sources informed of the deal.
Smith-Schuster’s new contract has a base value of $25.5 million and includes $16 million in guaranteed money, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reports.
The pact helps New England cover for the loss of Jakobi Meyers, who agreed to a similar three-year, $33 million deal with the Las Vegas Raiders this week.
The former second-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017 signed back-to-back one-year deals with Pittsburgh and Kansas City the past two offseasons. This time around Smith-Schuster gets more stability.
