Chiefs Lose JuJu To New England

The New England Patriots are expected to sign wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to a three-year, $33 million deal, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Smith-Schuster, who helped the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl last month, will make $22.5 million over the first two years of the deal, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Smith-Schuster tweeted Wednesday that he is excited for his “next chapter in New England.”

Smith-Schuster, 26, played last season with Kansas City after five with the Steelers. He caught 78 passes for 933 yards and three touchdowns during the regular season and added 10 more receptions in three postseason games, including seven in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVII victory over the Eagles.
