The NY Jets are reportedly having conversations with free-agent wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Their interest in Smith-Schuster is hardly surprising and, as one could imagine, it’s led to rampant speculation about the future of quarterback Sam Darnold.

After all, Darnold and Smith-Schuster spent time together at USC with the two putting together an impressive 2016 campaign during the former’s freshman season.

Darnold and Smith-Schuster have history, and the latter has been especially complimentary of his former college teammate since joining the NFL.
