The Pittsburgh Steelers officially released tight end Jonnu Smith on Thursday, saving a good amount of cap space ahead of the start of free agency next week.
Releasing Smith opened up $7 million for Pittsburgh, bringing the Steelers' 2026 cap space to $50,016,173, which would be ranked the seventh-most in the league, according to Spotrac.
Traded to the Steelers in a deal that included Ramsey being sent to Pittsburgh and Minkah Fitzpatrick being sent to the Miami Dolphins, Smith failed to make an impact in his debut season in the Black and Gold — recording just 222 receiving yards and three total touchdowns.
With Smith now set to find a new team in free agency, the Steelers still boast one of the league's top tight end duos in Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth, who should see plenty of opportunity in 2026.
