  "account": "The New York Giants have released former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Giants' offseason roster decisions to sign younger players left Smith-Schuster available for new teams. Smith-Schuster, who previously played for the Chiefs, is set to join veteran running back Najee Harris on the Giants' roster. The wide receiver had a chance to reunite with former Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who is now with the Giants. Despite initial progress, Smith-Schuster missed the preseason opener due to injuries and has posted solid numbers in his previous stints with the Chiefs.",
