In a move nobody saw coming, the Steelers re-signed their star receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster on Friday. He’ll be in Pittsburgh another year (at least) and will hit the free-agent market in 2022.
Twitter (Smith-Schuster’s third favorite social media platform after Instagram and TikTok) went crazy when the news came down — it nearly broke the internet.
I’m still stunned that JuJu Smith-Schuster passed on more money to play with the best QB in the league and the Chiefs, to play with a Walmart Yukon Cornelius pic.twitter.com/D04jetI0QW

Regardless of how you feel about Juju Smith-Schuster, now that he’s signed, you should want him to do well if you’re a #Steelers fan.
Remember, a team is only as strong as its weakest link. #NFL #Pittsburgh

You want guys like JuJu Smith-Schuster on your team. Few WRs in this modern era play with the physicality he has in his career.
