Patriots Cut JuJu Smith-Schuster

AUG 9 PATS CUT JUJU The career of veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith Schuster has been an interesting one. From being one of the best young wide outs in the league, to winning Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs two seasons ago. Now, he has been cut by the team that just signed him to a three-year contract.

Per a report by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport , the New England Patriots are releasing Smith-Schuster so that he can sign with a new team.

The veteran wide-out only started in four games this past season for the Pats, so it is probably for the best that he try to find another team where he can contribute while he is still 27 years old.

AUG 9 BREELAND Ahead of their preseason clash on Saturday, the Jacksonville Jaguars have signed former Kansas City Chiefs second-round defensive lineman Breeland Speaks, according to KPRC2's Aaron Wilson .

Breeland, the former Ole Miss product, played just two seasons in Kansas City before he was cut heading into the 2020 season. From there, he spent time with five different NFL teams over the next four seasons. However, he never made it off the practice squad before being cut.

That was when he joined the UFL's Michigan Panthers, where this past season, he won the league's Defensive Player of the Year award and led the spring football league in sacks.

Now, he will look to battle for a spot on the Jaguars 53-man roster, which could see him play as soon as Saturday, where inside Everbank Stadium kickoff versus his former team is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT.

AUG 7 'SOCIOPATH' Former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh, now back in the NFL as the Los Angeles Chargers head coach, swears he had nothing to do with the Wolverines cheating scandal, insisting that he was taught never to lie, cheat or steal.

Harbaugh therefore is not about to apologize because he said he did not participate in anything devious or illegal.

The most harsh response comes from ESPN's Paul Finebaum, the college football voice.

"I don't know enough about psychology, but I struggle with what is he,'' Finebaum said. "Is he delusional? Is he sociopathic? Is he pathological? I need help because he's one of those.

"He's not normal, but I can assure you of that."

AUG 7 ADAMS LEAD LEAGUE IN YARDS? Davante Adams had a slower season in 2023, as he is one of the only players where 1100 yards could be considered "slow." But this year, many think he could bounce back and make some noise.

In DraftKings Sportsbook's latest odds, Adams has the third-highest odds to lead the league in receiving yards during the regular season.

The veteran wide out did not get as many targets as he would have liked until Antonio Pierce took over the head coaching duties. Now that he is the full-time head coach, Adams could be poised to bounce back and help the Raiders contend with the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West.

AUG 5 TONEY BACK? The Chiefs will have a padded practice on Monday and it appears wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who has been out for almost a week with an ankle issue, might be ready to return.

Toney has experienced an interesting training camp, with coach Andy Reid and staff clearly trying to find a way to utilize his speed in creative ways. Stay tuned here.

AUG 5 C'MON, TROY! Cowboys legend Troy Aikman, in an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, stated the longer this goes, the less likely it is that Dak Prescott will be in Dallas next season. And then he added a doozy ...

As he then compared Prescott’s numbers the last few seasons against three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs.

“When you look at the numbers,” Aikman said, “if you didn't have the name and you just had the stats. … wins included, you would put Dak Prescott's numbers over the last couple of years along(side) with Patrick Mahomes.”

But, of course, there’s a “but.” And the Hall of Famer Aikman knows it.

And what we know? That Super "but'' means ... everything.
