Steelers Release Tight End Jonnu Smith

According to reports, the team plans to release the veteran as he heads into the final year of his contract. Smith was set to earn $7 million in 2026, but the move will lead behind a deadcap hit of about $3.9 million. This comes after a disappointing season for Smith and Pittsburgh. In 17 games with seven starts, he hauled in 38 catches for 222 yards and two touchdowns. That was a big drop from his 884 yards the year before, with the Miami Dolphins. Smith joined the Steelers through a trade package that also involved other players moving between Pittsburgh and Miami. The 30-year-old has nine years of NFL experience, bouncing around with the Titans, Patriots, Balkans, Dolphins, and now wrapping up with the Steelers. Fans and analysts see this as the end of a short experiment at the position.

1:03The release frees up some roster flexibility for the team as they look to rebuild their tight end group heading into the off season. Once the paperwork goes through, Smith will hit free agency and could draw interest from teams needing a proven pass catcher with his background. Keep an eye on where he lands next.
