Last week, Steelers WR Michael Pittman Jr. and former Steelers team MVP Juju Smith-Schuster exchanged comments on Instagram that sparked rumors of a potential reunion between Smith-Schuster and Pittsburgh. Pittman even asked when the wide receiver was “coming home.”
All talks of a potenital reunion can now be put to rest, as Smith-Schuster signed with the New York Giants on a one-year deal Monday.
The 2018 team MVP has not played for the Steelers since 2021. Since leaving Pittsburgh, the wideout has not cracked 1,000 yards in a season and has only tallied over 350 yards in a season once. The wideout has spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he won a Super Bowl with the franchise in 2022, and the New England Patriots. Now, Smith-Schuster steps into a role in New York where he could see more targets than he has in a long time.
The team also added veteran wideouts Odell Beckham Jr. and Braxton Berrios within the past 24 hours. A knee injury is likely to keep Giants star wideout Malik Nabers out for at least the beginning of the 2026 season, meaning those veterans will have to step up to support second year quarterback Jaxson Dart. If the Steelers want to add some receiver depth to their team, they will have to look elsewhere.
