Exactly one week from today the 2021 NFL free agency signing period will be underway and by then we should know if Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will be continuing his career elsewhere. Smith-Schuster is an interesting soon-to-be unrestricted free agent to watch this next week or so because he figures to be in the top two at his position but in a possible depressed market due the league’s salary cap going down a little more than $15 million this year.
During his Wednesday interview on 93.7 The Fan, longtime NFL insider John Clayton weighed in on the impact he thinks the lowered salary cap this year might have on free agency around the league and specifically how it might impact Smith-Schuster’s market value.
