Chiefs add another offensive weapon in JuJu Smith-Schuster

As if the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t already have enough offensive weapons, now they are even more dangerous.

JuJu Smith-Schuster is signing a 1-year, $10.75 million contract with the Chiefs. He announced the news himself on Friday.

The short-term deal makes sense for Smith-Schuster.

JuJu only played five games last season due to a shoulder injury, meaning his free agent value is lower than it could be. If he puts up a big season in Kansas City, that will likely remind other teams of his potential and lead to a bigger contract.

The 25-year-old had just 15 catches for 129 yards last season. But JuJu topped out with 111 catches for 1,426 yards and 7 touchdowns in 2018. He probably won’t attain those numbers as the No. 3 receiving option in Kansas City’s offense, but he should revive his value.
