Kansas City Chiefs bring back another key man as roster rebuild continues after Super Bowl loss
The Kansas City Chiefs have re-signed wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to a new contract, keeping the speedy outside target as a weapon for Patrick Mahomes.
Smith-Schuster was part of the Chiefs’ run to the Super Bowl last season before the team was walloped by the Philadelphia Eagles in the championship game.
This will be Smith-Schuster’s third season with the Chiefs after spending 2022 and 2024 on their roster.
The length and value of Smith-Schuster’s new contract have yet to be revealed, with it believed Kansas City is brining him back into the fold on a 1-year deal.
With the loss of DeAndre Hopkins to the Baltimore Ravens, the Chiefs may rely on Smith-Schuster more in 2025, with the returning Rashee Rice and up-and-coming Xavier Worthy.
Smith-Schuster’s stats are not that impressive from last season, catching 18 passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns.

Smith-Schuster may have been behind the rest of the wide-receiving corps last year, as he only signed with the Chiefs for a second stint the week before the regular season began.
The 28-year-old spent one season bookended by his time in Kansas City with the New England Patriots, watching the final season of Bill Belichick’s NFL tenure up close.
More to come.
