One of the Pittsburgh Steelers priority in-house free agents is wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Smith-Schuster has been with the team since 2017 and has caught at least 97 passes twice in five seasons. According to ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler (VIA ESPN television), the Steelers are interested in pursuing a new contract with Smith-Schuster this offseason.
Smith-Schuster tested free agency last offseason as well before returning to Pittsburgh on a one-year contract. Smith-Schuster found the free-agent market to not be as robust as he expected perhaps and it’s hard to imagine things will be better this time around.
