Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will be back for another season in Pittsburgh.

Smith-Schuster today agreed to a one-year contract with Steelers, according to several reports.

Although Smith-Schuster reportedly was interested in a few other teams, the wide receiver market is weak this year, and Smith-Schuster may have calculated that his best chance of a big payout is to have a big season in 2021 and then hit the free agency again a year from now, when the salary cap is expected to be significantly higher.

In four seasons with the Steelers, Smith-Schuster has 308 receptions for 3,726 yards and 26 touchdowns.
