PRESTON SMITH SENT TO THE STEELERS
The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired linebacker/defensive end Preston Smith from the Green Bay Packers for a seventh-round draft pick in 2025.
What does it give the Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers have two great edge rushers in T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, but they did not have enough depth behind them. Smith will provide quality depth for a Pittsburgh team that is preparing for a big push towards the playoffs.
What does it give the Green Bay Packers
The Packers did have enough depth on the edge, which explains their decision to move on from Smith. The likes of Lukas Van Ness and Kingsley Enagbare should see increased snaps moving forward, something that was already happening.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, since Smith will likely be a backup in Pittsburgh.
