BOSTON — A day after losing their best receiver, the Patriots have a new No. 1 target.
According to a source, free-agent wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster is expected to sign with Patriots on a 3-year, $33 million deal, per the NFL Network.
Smith-Schuster, 26, is coming off a rebound season in Kansas City, where he caught 78 passes for 933 yards and three touchdowns last year. His addition will help offset the loss of Jakobi Meyers, who left to sign a 3-year deal with the Raiders on Tuesday. Smith-Schuster would jump to the top of the Pats’ receiver depth chart, joining DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton.
