Top Free Agent Wide Receivers for Packers: JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kansas City Chiefs

Smith-Schuster’s career arc has flattened out since his first couple of years in the NFL, but he’s rediscovering how to be an impactful wide receiver. Playing with Patrick Mahomes will also help that.

After signing a one-year deal with the Chiefs, he had 78 receptions for 933 yards and three touchdowns in 2022. He’ll likely be looking for a longer, more expensive contract this time. I’m leery of offering him that kind of length and money.
