Steelers release Jonnu Smith, freeing $7M in cap space

The Pittsburgh Steelers released tight end Jonnu Smith after less than a year on the roster, saving about $7 million against the salary cap but incurring roughly $3.87 million in dead money. Smith, who posted a career year with the Dolphins in 2024, struggled in Pittsburgh (38 receptions, 222 yards, 2 TDs) and failed to build chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers or contribute as a blocker, leading to his release. He becomes an unrestricted free agent, likely seeking his sixth team, while Pittsburgh leans on Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington and may re-sign Connor Heyward.
