Alright, so I’m not even in my usual studio right now—I’m at my friend’s place. But the moment I saw the news about JuJu Smith-Schuster, I knew I had to record a quick video. Just had to.
In case you missed it: **JuJu Smith-Schuster has re-signed with the Kansas City Chiefs**, according to Jordan Schultz. It’s a **one-year deal**, and honestly, this move is a no-brainer.
JuJu is 28, and he was already part of the Chiefs’ rotation last season. He had been with them before too, prior to that short stint with the Patriots (which didn’t work out), and he eventually got released. So now, bringing him back just makes perfect sense.
Looking at the Chiefs’ current wide receiver room, they **needed** to make a move. Sure, they’ve got **Xavier Worthy**—love that pick—and **Rashee Rice**, who’s great too, but he’s starting the season suspended. They also recently signed **Hollywood Brown** to a one-year deal worth up to $11 million. That’s a solid top three.
But beyond that? **Justin Watson is gone.** You’ve got **Nikko Remigio**, but after that, you’re running low on depth. **Mecole Hardman is a free agent**, and **DeAndre Hopkins** just signed with the Ravens. So, yeah—**adding JuJu fills a real need**.
Let’s talk about JuJu for a sec. He’s 6’1″, 215 lbs. Last year, he had 26 targets, 18 catches, 231 yards, and 2 touchdowns in the regular season. Not eye-popping, but he came through in big moments during the postseason—like against the Bills: **2 catches for 60 yards**. He’s still got juice. Not the same guy from his early Steelers days, but **he’s gritty, reliable, and tough**.
He’s especially valuable in the blocking game—think bubble screens and those dirty, thankless plays that don’t show up in the stat sheet. He’ll block to the whistle. Durable too. Chiefs love that kind of guy.
This deal is probably a **vet minimum contract** again—just like last year after the Pats cut him. Super cheap, super smart.
I said this in yesterday’s video too—**bringing back guys who already know the system is key.** JuJu fits that mold perfectly. He’s familiar with the team, the playbook, and the culture. He enjoys playing in Kansas City, and his teammates love him.
Now, do I still want the Chiefs to draft a wide receiver? **Absolutely**, if the right one falls to them. But no need to reach. They’ve got other priorities too—**maybe defensive tackle early on**. They just picked up **Jerry Tillery** to line up next to **Chris Jones**, which is interesting.
Point is, the WR room isn’t finished. I wouldn’t be shocked if they add another vet or grab someone late in the draft. Maybe **Nikko Remigio** steps up big time. Maybe they like him enough to move on from Mecole Hardman and just use Nikko in special packages or on returns.
But back to JuJu—he’s a dog. Motivated. Plays with fire. He’ll block, get in your face, line up anywhere, and even be that sneaky middle-of-the-field option to complement **Travis Kelce** and **Noah Gray**.
Love this move. Smart. Controlled cost. High football IQ. No drama off the field—unless you’re worried about JuJu on TikTok or playing Call of Duty. Personally? I don’t care. Let the man live his life. Just stay out of trouble and make plays on Sundays.
So yeah—drop your thoughts in the comments. I’m here for this signing. It’s not a huge “OMG” move, but **you need guys like JuJu** on your roster—gritty, team-first players who do the dirty work.
