No additional details about his contract were immediately available.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WJ7DV3\">Kansas City first wanted to sign the former USC wide receiver in 2021, after he had finished his rookie contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. But despite being wooed by head coach Andy Reid, Smith-Schuster chose to remain with the team that had drafted him in the second round (62nd overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft, signing a one-year, $8 million contract to remain in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p id=\"NvLcgQ\">But in Week 5 of that season, he suffered a severe shoulder injury that kept him on the Steelers\u2019 Reseve\/Injured list until the team\u2019s 42-21 Wild Card loss to the Chiefs. The following offseason, Kansas City signed him to a one-year, $10.75 million \u201cprove-it\u201d contract that carried $7 million in incentives.<\/p>\n<p id=\"XkOdlV\">That season, he led the Chiefs\u2019 wide receivers with 933 yards and three touchdowns on the way to the team\u2019s victory in Super Bowl LVII, which was enough proof for the New England Patriots to sign Smith-Schuster to a three-year, $33 million contract.<\/p>\n<p id=\"oFfBKk\">But he never caught on in New England, where he recorded only 29 catches for 260 yards (and one touchdown) over 11 games in 2023. After the Patriots released him the following August, Kansas City re-signed him for 2024.<\/p>\n<p id=\"22ErhN\">It seems that Smith-Schuster now knows when he is at home.<\/p>\n<p id=\"FGc4qS\">\u201cFeels great to be back here, man,\u201d he said before Super Bowl LIX in February. \u201cIt\u2019s a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City has re-signed the ninth-year wideout to his third season with the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":43461,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
