While the Steelers are not likely to trade for TE Jonnu Smith, the interest in him still probably means something. And that is especially likely given that the interest resurfaced after TE Donald Parham Jr.’s injury. At least for me, that tells me the Steelers are still in the market for another tight end.
After all, they carried four tight ends on the roster last year, but they did not re-sign MyCole Pruitt. Although he was on the roster fringe, Parham was a candidate in that regard. While trading for Jonnu Smith wouldn’t have been a proportional move to losing Parham, I think any movement shows that the interest is there.
