Observant social media detectives uncovered compelling evidence indicating that JuJu Smith-Schuster knew well in advance that he was Kansas City-bound. While he was still with the New England Patriots, no less.

The Patriots released JuJu Smith-Schuster on Aug. 9, a year after handing him a three-year deal in 2023 free agency. Less than three weeks later, the veteran returned to the Kansas City Chiefs — where he won a Super Bowl two seasons earlier.

After news broke of Smith-Schuster signing with the Chiefs, several fans noticed that the Supr Bowl 58 champion actually dropped a hint about his reunion with Kansas City three weeks earlier.

Here’s the photographic evidence:

After helping the Cheifs to a Super Bowl 57 championship, JuJu Smith-Schuster signed a three-year deal worth $25 million with New England. He missed six games to injury and finished with just 29 receptions for 260 yards and a single touchdown.

Smith-Schuster had the second-best statistical season of his career a year earlier in Kansas City, recording 78 receptions for 933 yards and three touchdowns. He had his best year in 2018, catching 111 passes for 1,426 yards and seven touchdowns.

It never worked out in New England, but there’s perhaps no better place for JuJu to regain his star-like form than the very team with which he won a championship. The same team that owns footbal’s best head coach (Andy Reid) and quarterback (Patrick Mahomes).

JuJu Smith-Schuster Joins Rebuilt Chiefs WR Corps

In some ways, it’s miraculous that the Chiefs won the Super Bowl last year with a wide receiver room with no reliable playmakers outside rookie Rashee Rice. A testament to the magic of Mahomes, indeed.

But Kansas City GM Brett Veach knew he couldn’t risk running it back with the same WR room, so he brought in former 1,000-yard wideout Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown and used a first-round pick on Texas speedster Xavier Worthy. Throw in Rice, tight end Travis Kelce and the return of Smith-Schuster, and the depth on Kansas City’s offense is unfair and laughably stacked.
