Giants to release Super Bowl champion, ex-Steelers Pro Bowl WR after Najee Harris signing
The Giants are releasing a veteran Super Bowl champ to make room for Najee Harris.
The New York Giants have announced they will release veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster after signing running back Najee Harris. Smith-Schuster, a former Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs, was released to make room for Harris on the Giants' 53-man roster. Harris, who had at least 1,000 rushing yards for four consecutive seasons before an Achilles injury last season, will take Smith-Schuster's spot on the roster.
Smith-Schuster, 29 years old and buried on the Giants' depth chart, had limited success with the team in recent years, catching only 33 of 45 targets for 345 yards and one touchdown last season.
