Steelers Consider Smith Reunion for Tight End Depth

0:00On March 30, Pittsburgh Steelers sitting pretty thin at tight end right now, with just Pat Fryer-Muth and Darnell Washington locked in from last. Seasons crew? They cut John who Smith loose and watched Connor Hayward bolt in free agency, leaving the depth chart looking sparse heading into training camp. Smith was supposed to light it up last year, but didn't pan out, and now his markets colder than a steel city winter. No teams biting despite early. Hype? Meanwhile, the Steelers almost always roll with three tight ends, and their options are drying up fast. Fans and analysts are buzzing about a reunion though. Fryer-Muths primed for a big leap as the top guy, Washington's healing from that forearm break and eyeing a breakout before his next deal. Bringing Smith back as a third option could plug the gap without breaking the bank. Word is, a provey contract for Smith might land around 3-5 million bucks on a one-year-packed way under his projected 7.3 million value.

1:00Other vets like David and Joku, or Will Disley, are out there, but none fit quite like a familiar face with upside. This could be a smart play for both sides, if Smith stays unsigned depth for Pittsburgh, fresh star for him. Keep an eye on it as camp heats up. It might just reshape that offense before the season drops. I'm Corey with The Story, and you've been listening to NFL News Today, AI Power Football coverage.
