Barring him re-signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the next three weeks, wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will become an unrestricted free agent on March 17, the start of the new league year. And while Smith-Schuster has made it clear several times this offseason that he wants to remain with the Steelers in 2021 and beyond, it’s unfortunately beginning to look more and more like he’ll ultimately sign with a different team three to four weeks from now.
On Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network was asked his thoughts on Smith-Schuster and if he believes there’s a chance the former second-round draft pick out of USC has any chance at re-signing with the Steelers before he becomes an unrestricted free agent on March 17.
