Recipient JuJu Smith-Schuster said he would like to spend his career in Pittsburgh. The Steelers made it very clear that the relationship is not going to continue. Smith-Schuster apparently got the message.
The team’s 2018 MVP responded to a SI.com social media survey of the future of Smith-Schuster by choosing the non-Pittsburgh option.
The question was simple: will JuJu stay in Pittsburgh? The options were “I hope so” and “this is negative”. Smith-Schuster voted “this is negative. “
Your openness will certainly affect the chances of your next destination. PointsBet previously had the Steelers on a +300 proposal to keep Smith-Schuster, even with the Jets and behind the Raiders at +130. Pittsburgh should now be a much longer shot.
In fact, Pittsburgh should have been a longer shot in the first place. With a strong group of young and cheap receivers, a serious capitalization situation and a proven ability to select large receivers, it has become clear for a time that the Steelers are moving forward.
