JuJu Smith-Schuster once again enters free agency after signing a one-year deal with the Steelers last season.
If he wants a big pay day, he probably doesn't want potential suitors seeing this stat from the NFL on CBS.
Of course while having Antonio Brown around to draw attention helps the other receivers, having a younger, pre-injury Ben Roethlisberger is also a big reason for the great production.
Add to that a sub-par offensive line and reaching 100-yards in a game becomes a bigger challenge.
Smith-Schuster only had 15 catches for 129 yards with zero touchdowns before a shoulder injury put him on the shelf for the rest of the season.
While he did return for the Steelers Wild Card loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, his impact on the field was minimal.
Smith-Schuster signed for $8 million last season.
It was projected earlier this week by Pro Football Focus that Smith-Schuster would sign another one-year prove it deal, this time with the New England Patriots.
Smith-Schuster said he came back for Ben Roethlisberger in 2021 and that his desire to re-sign with Pittsburgh would depend on their quarterback situation.
