Smith-Schuster will likely sign at his veteran minimum of $1.21 million for 2024, NFL Insider Jordan ShultzĀ reported.
TheĀ New England Patriots,Ā who cut the wide receiver, will have to pay Smith-Schuster $7 million minus whatever he earns elsewhere this season, according to Spotrac.
NFLĀ fans flooded social media to share their thoughts on the Chiefsā recent move.
āThey canāt keep getting away with this!ā said one fan.
āHow much help does Mahomes need,ā a second fan wrote to X, adding three laughing cat emojis.
āIs he even a weapon anymore?ā questioned a third.
āMakes me wonder if Hollywood [Brown] is going to miss some time,ā a fourth speculated.
āDidnāt expect this but makes sense,ā said a fifth fan.
This comes after a disappointing stint on the Patriots for Smith-Schuster.
The wide receiver struggled to stay healthy and could not replicate the same success he had with the Chiefs.
