According to Ian Rapoport, the one-year deal is worth $8 million.
With stilll-#Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster staying home and making $8M, PIT will either cut or trade CB Steven Nelson, source said. He’s due $8.25M this season, but is headed elsewhere.

Well, there you have it, folks. The biggest free agency question surrounding the Steelers has been answered.
After a ton of chatter about whether or not JuJu would want to return to the Steelers, he’s back for another season of football in Pittsburgh.
Can’t say it enough, I love you Pittsburgh. Came in here a young 20 year old and you guys embraced me from the moment I got here. So much love. Had my back thru everything, all the struggles and success. So hard to leave. See you this Fall in Heinz WE’RE GOIN CRAZY!!!

With Big Ben also returning, the team has to surround him with as much help as possible. Bringing JuJu back is obviously a huge deal.
He’s the team’s best receiving option and deep threat. Now, he’s back to catch some balls and score some touchdowns.
This is my home, they’re gonna need a wrecking ball to take me outta here! PITTSBURGH I LOVE YOU, LET’S GO!!!!! ???????????????? pic.twitter.com/SPFvCLUmFl
