The Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly decided to part ways with veteran tight end Jonnu Smith after just one season with the franchise. This transaction is expected to provide the team with significant financial flexibility by clearing roughly $7 million in salary cap space. Throughout his brief tenure in Pittsburgh, Smith’s presence led to a decreased role for fellow tight end Pat Freiermuth, who saw a career-low in offensive participation. By removing Smith from the roster, the organization appears to be prioritizing Freiermuth’s involvement within the new offensive scheme led by Mike McCarthy. This move marks another chapter in Smith's journeyman career, following previous stints with teams such as the Dolphins and Titans.
