The New England Patriots have decided to release veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster after a disappointing training camp performance. Smith-Schuster, who signed a three-year, $25 million contract last offseason, struggled with consistency and faced competition from younger receivers. Despite his professional demeanor and past success, including a Super Bowl win with the Chiefs, his time with the Patriots has come to an end as the team shifts towards a younger roster.
- JuJu Smith-Schuster's release signals a shift towards a younger receiving corps for the Patriots.
- The team will incur a $9.6 million cap hit despite the release.
