If the Las Vegas Raiders decide to part ways with WR Nelson Agholor, it could open up roster space for Smith-Schuster. However, the Pittsburgh Steelers could very well re-sign the 24-year old.

In his four seasons with the Steelers, the dynamic wideout played in 58 games. He had 308 receptions, 3,726 yards, and 26 touchdowns. He also had a career high of nine touchdowns in 2020.

Now, the Steelers have a handful of talented receivers who are still under their rookie contracts. However, Juju Smith-Schuster has shown that he can be very effective from the slot. As well as that, he brings four years of NFL experience to the table.

Although recent sources have pinned the Las Vegas Raiders as a possible landing spot for the NFL star, ESPN also reported that the New York Jets could be a good fit for Smith-Schuster under new head coach Robert Saleh.
