Steelers Release Jonnu Smith, Save Cap Space

0:00For the NFL, it's March 5th. Here's what's happening. The Pittsburgh Steelers made a key roster move this week as they gear up for the NFL's new league gear. They released tight-end John New Smith, clearing the way for more flexibility. This decision saves the team $7 million in cap space for 2026. Smith was brought in last off season through a trade by General Manager Omar Khan. Many see that trade as one of Khan's biggest missteps so far. Smith ended up with just a limited role in the offense during the 2025 season. Earlier this week, the Steelers pulled the trigger ahead of the deadline. It highlights the tough choices teams face with salary cap limits. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh still has a bunch of other decisions looming as the new league gear kicks off. Fans are watching closely for what's next. Support for this DNN episode comes from our sponsor. Some for you can hear. Sound you can relax into. S-O-L-I-SOLY-PILLOW.com.
