As the NFL offseason draws closer to the start of the new league year and the opening of free agency, the prevailing feeling continues to remain that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster’s time in Pittsburgh is quickly coming to an end.
After signing a one-year, $8 million deal with the Steelers in surprising fashion in 2021 that had four voidable years tacked onto the end of the contract, Smith-Schuster ended up getting hurt just five weeks into the season, landing on injured reserve while undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery.
However, Smith-Schuster showed a lot of resolve and commitment to the Steelers, battling back to return for the Wild Card Round, defying expectations overall in his return to action.
