Giants Planning To Release WR JuJu Smith-Schuster

Schefter adds that this move will coincide with the Giants signing RB Najee Harris.

Smith-Schuster, 29, was a second-round pick by the Steelers out of USC in the 2017 NFL Draft. He finished his four-year, $4.19 million rookie contract before re-joining the Steelers on a one-year, $8 million deal in 2021 and signed on with the Chiefs to a one-year deal in 2022. 

The Patriots agreed to a three-year, $33 million contract with Smith-Schuster in 2023. New England then released him during training camp.

Smith-Schuster caught on with the Chiefs once more back in 2024 and returned to Kansas City last year on a one-year deal. 

In 2025, Smith-Schuster appeared in all 17 games for the Chiefs and caught 33 passes for 345 yards receiving and a touchdown.
