Looking for some additional help in the wide receiver room, the Kansas City Chiefs decided to bring back a player who helped them to a Super Bowl win in the 2022 season.
On Monday, Kansas City agreed to a contract with wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Smith-Schuster was released by the New England Patriots on August 9th. He was at practice with the Chiefs on Monday.
Smith-Schuster was the leading receiver for the Chiefs in that Super Bowl winning season, catching 78 passes for 933 yards and three touchdowns. It was his only season with Kansas City before signing a three year deal with the Patriots.
In just one season with New England he caught 29 passes for 260 yards and one touchdown in 11 games.
At wide receiver this season, the Chiefs added veteran free agent Marquise Brown and drafted Xavier Worthy in the first round. Brown dislocated his shoulder in the preseason opener and his status for the Sept. 5 regular season opener against the Baltimore Ravens is in question.
