With the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers in a standoff regarding Brandon Aiyuk, the New England Patriots have released a familiar face in JuJu Smith-Schuster. After he helped the Kansas City Chiefs bring home a Super Bowl ring, the former second-round pick bolted north to sign a three-year contract worth $25.5 million.

Unfortunately for both him and the team, his first season with his new squad was extremely disappointing as he posted just 29 catches for 260 yards in eleven appearances. Smith-Schuster was released by the Patriots last week.

Now, he’s looking for a new home which begs the question: should the Pittsburgh Steelers be interested in a reunion?
