La Canfora Throws Huge Off-Target Dart In Suggesting Steelers Could Tag And Trade Smith-Schuster

Should Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster become an unrestricted free agent on March 17, there will be plenty of other teams vying for his services and likely around a value of $17 million per year. If the Steelers are unable to re-sign Smith-Schuster prior to March 17, the only other option the team would have that would slow or totally prevent his exodus from Pittsburgh would require the franchise tag being placed on the former second-round draft pick out of USC. For some reason, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports doesn’t think the franchise tag option is totally out of the picture as an option for the Steelers in the next four weeks.
