Jonnu Smith is gone, clearing the way for Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth to once again resume his role as the team's top tight end in 2026. At least, that's what we're hoping for.
From now until the start of the regular season, we at Steelers Wire will be ***** yzing every player on the roster. Here's a look at Freiermuth and what could be in store for his 2026 season.

Broncos named as landing spot for ex-Steelers, Dolphins 3,529-yard Pro Bowl TE originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
While the Denver Broncos didn't make a ton of changes to their AFC Championship roster from last season to this season, they did make a big move on offense.
The trade for Jaylen Waddle was a huge one, as it gave the Broncos offense a dynamic playmaker who proved his worth with the Miami Dolphins. So, it wouldn't be unfamiliar territory to sign a former Dolphins receiving threat this offseason.
Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports linked the Broncos to free-agent veteran tight end, and former Dolphins Pro Bowler Jonnu Smith, as a potential fun addition to the Denver offense for Sean Payton.
"TE Jonnu Smith: Broncos," DeArdo writes. "... Smith's skill set also meshes with Sean Payton's offense, which gives pass-catchers a chance to make plays after the catch."

The New England Patriots have high expectations for the 2026 season.
The team surprisingly made it all the way to the Super Bowl last year, but they ultimately fell short, losing to the Seattle Seahawks. If the team wants to go all the way in 2026, they could look to add even more weapons.
Luckily, there's a reliable weapon still on the free agent market, and head coach Mike Vrabel knows him well.
Moe Moton of Bleacher Report recently identified the best fits for the top remaining free agents. For veteran tight end Jonnu Smith, Moton thinks the Patriots make the most sense.
