According to Nan Reporter Ian Rapoport, the Pittsburgh Steelers want wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster back and were in touch with his team over a new contract.
This situation sounds like a case where Steelers frontman Smith-Schuster is going to give a number in terms of a contract, let him go to test his value in free agencies, and he can sign elsewhere or Pittsburgh will sign him again. open arms.
However, it will be interesting to see if Smith-Schuster gets a fair deal from the Steelers if he even makes the effort to look elsewhere. He has made it clear that he wants to be out of Pittsburgh out of season, so this could be a rare opportunity with loyalty and a strange salary tax situation that would be a blessing in disguise for Pittsburgh.
