The Pittsburgh Steelers were allegedly incapable to come to an agreement with Tyler Boyd, so it shows up that they’ll fair ought to support the wide collector position through the draft.

A exchange for Brandon Aiyuk may still be on the table. But how around a exchange for previous Steelers wide recipient JuJu Smith-Schuster? Given Smith-Schuster’s down year and knee issues it likely would as it were cost the Steelers an extra sixth-round choose. It appears like a really impossible suggestion, but previous Steelers exterior linebacker Arthur Canals would be open to it.

“I’m unquestionably on that train,” Moats said when his co-host Deke brought up the plausibility of Smith-Schuster coming back. “He’s still beneath contract in Unused Britain, (though).”

Smith-Schuster won a Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022 and was a profitable collector for Patrick Mahomes, but things went downhill with the Unused Britain Nationalists in 2023. He recorded fair 29 gatherings for 260 yards (9.0 normal) and one landing in 11 diversions final season. Smith-Schuster had his best amusement of the year against the Steelers with four gatherings for 90 yards (22.5 normal). His quarterback was Mac Jones for most of the year moreover, so that can’t be ignored.

The enormous caveat with Smith-Schuster is his knee, in any case. It exceptionally well might be shot. Amid an appearance on NBC Sports Boston final August, Sports Illustrated NFL insider Albert Breer cast question on the long-term reasonability of Schuster and particularly his knee.

“The underrated story here:
JuJu Smith Schuster’s knee could be a mess, which thing seem detonate at any point,” Breer said. “So, you nearly have to be keep an additional collector since of that.”

Smith-Schuster said the report was wrong and claimed that Breer was fair “trying to discover a story.”

“I do not think my knee may be a ticking time bomb,” he told Mass Live’s Karen Guregian. “If anything, it’s something that’s getting more grounded each day.”

Smith-Schuster’s knee held up in 2023, but he didn’t have the same hazardousness.

“The knee is genuine. The knee is genuine, bro,” Channels said. “I fair do not like that knee portion. That would do it.”

Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is additionally stressed approximately Smith-Schuster’s knee.

“I like JuJu, but as well numerous wounds and likely not the No. 2 recipient in a perfect world they would like,” Dulac composed in his later online chat when inquired in the event that the Steelers would exchange for Smith-Schuster.

Smith-Schuster is as it were 27, but the knee issue is something that has got to be accounted for. A trade is exceptionally unlikely. And indeed on the off chance that the Patriots conclusion up cutting him, that would show a major red hail in respect to his wellbeing in case the Steelers had an intrigued.
