Tight end Jonnu Smith is set to be released by the Pittsburgh Steelers to save $7 million against the salary cap, allowing the team to approach $50 million in space for free agency. Acquired from Miami last June, Smith played all 17 games in the 2025 season, recording 38 catches for 222 yards and three total touchdowns. This move opens up opportunities for tight end Pat Freiermuth, who had a reduced role last season. Smith, now an unrestricted free agent, has played for five NFL teams in his nine-year career.
