The Pittsburgh Steelers bolstered their EDGE depth by acquiring Preston Smith from the Green Bay Packers at the 2024 trade deadline. Smith served as a backup, contributing two sacks and 13 total tackles in 161 snaps. The Steelers opted not to bring Smith back this offseason, and after Week 2, he finally has a new home. Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Smith is signing with the Washington Commanders.
It’s a reunion for Smith, who began his career in Washington and played with the team from 2015-2018. The Commanders recently lost EDGE Deatrich Wise Jr. to a season-ending injury, and Smith can help bolster the team’s pass-rush.
