The tables have turned for JuJu Smith-Schuster recently. The wide receiver is fresh off a Super Bowl win with the Kansas City Chiefs and has proved his worth. Since the offseason, the athlete has been circling speculations of a new team. However, it looks like JuJu’s worst nightmares are coming to life. NFL Fandom has unearthed an old image of him criticizing his new team and having fun.
The veteran wide receiver is getting the mega pay raise after six seasons, and a Super Bowl win. After showing up for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs, the Super Bowl WR is now heading to Foxborough, Massachusetts. But JuJu Smith-Schuster does not seem to be fond of the franchise in the past.
JuJu wasn’t a Patriots fan before!

It looks like back in 2019, JuJu Smith-Schuster was not a fan of the New England Patriots. He shared a picture where he could be seen taking a selfie with a kid wearing a Patriots jersey at the 2018 Pro Bowl. He wrote, “Ewwwww!!! A Patriots fan!!!” Probably the WR did not like the franchise when he was a Steeler back in the day.

Ex-Patriots WR upset over franchise’s deal with JuJu Smith-Schuster
The Patriots made an overhaul in their offensive sector with the addition of JuJu Smith-Schuster. But they also let go of a few athletes, and among them was Jakobi Meyers. The departing WR joined the Las Vegas Raiders to join Jimmy Garoppolo and others. But Meyers seems disappointed with the Pats bringing in JuJu.

After Ian Rapoport revealed Smith-Schuster’s contract worth, Meyers responded, “Cold world lol.” Since the WR never intended to leave the franchise, it was a bummer for him. Additionally, the new WR’s pay raise could be a reason for his dissatisfaction with the situation.
