Last season belonged to the Chiefs, but this season they have lost their secret weapons one by one. Patrick Mahomes not only saw his best friend, Orlando Brown Jr., leave, but he also joined their biggest conference rival, the Bengals. It didn’t only end there, as they let go of their LB, Frank Clark, and also the most important of them all, Juju Smith-Schuster. The prominent wide receiver has now strengthened another conference opponent after the Chiefs couldn’t match the $33 million offer.

As a result, Juju has joined the Patriots, one of the league’s most successful teams. With his new contract signed and a special occasion just around the corner, the Super Bowl champion went for a special treat at a special place.

However, a recent post has surfaced, contradicting these concerns.
