The Pittsburgh Steelers have released EDGE rusher Preston Smith, the team announced Friday evening. It’s an expected move given Smith’s high 2025 base salary that left the team little choice but to cut him.

The Steelers traded for Smith ahead of the 2024 deadline, acquiring him from the Green Bay Packers for a 2025 seventh round pick. Smith appeared in eight games, making zero starts, and serving in a rotational role.
