Are the Steelers serious about Jonnu Smith this time or not?
The Steelers are back in conversation about TE Jonnu Smith, Adam Schefter reports, this time following a tight end injury. But, and no offense to him, that tight end is Donald Parham Jr., who is likely to miss the entire season. The thing is, Parham was very much a fringe roster candidate in the first place.
If the Steelers were to trade for Jonnu Smith, that would not be a proportional reaction to losing a TE4. Parham, at best, might have served as the team’s third tight end, behind Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington.
