According to Mike Garafolo, Smith-Schuster’s deal has a base value of $3 million and incentives could push the contract as high as $10.75 million.
To put it as bluntly as possible, the star receiver will have to put in work in order to get the majority of the deal paid out.

This is a great signing for the Chiefs, and fans should be very happy with it. JuJu is one of the best receivers in the league.
When he cuts it loose, he’s an absolute nightmare for defenses. There’s no doubt about that.
Turn me up brotha!!! 💪🏽💪🏽 https://t.co/CqCkbZBJtl

Furthermore, it sounds like the Chiefs have him on a very team-friendly deal. That means if things don’t work out, they’re not getting absolutely hammered on the financial end.
Can’t wait to get after it my boy! https://t.co/fKjuFxqhAf
