In a shocking move, the Pittsburgh Steelers have announced that they will be releasing beloved wide receiver, JuJu Smith-Schuster. The news has sent shockwaves through the Steelers’ fanbase, with many taking to social media to express their sadness and disappointment.
Smith-Schuster, who has been with the Steelers since 2017, has been a fan favorite due to his electrifying playmaking ability and infectious personality. However, after a disappointing 2024 season, the Steelers have decided to move on from the 27-year-old receiver.
“We appreciate everything JuJu has done for this organization,” said Steelers General Manager, Omar Khan. “However, we feel that it’s time for us to move in a different direction. We wish JuJu all the best in his future endeavors.”
Smith-Schuster took to social media to thank the Steelers’ organization and fans for their support during his time in Pittsburgh.
“I’m going to miss this city and these fans so much,” Smith-Schuster tweeted. “Thank you for embracing me and making me feel like part of the family. I’ll always be grateful for my time in Pittsburgh.”
The Steelers’ decision to release Smith-Schuster is likely a cost-cutting move, as the team looks to free up cap space to address other needs on the roster. However, the move is still a tough pill for Steelers’ fans to swallow, as Smith-Schuster has become a beloved figure in the Pittsburgh sports community.
