The Steelers signed Smith to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith ended the 2025 season on the Patriots' practice squad after spending the majority of the campaign with the Jets organization. He joined the NFL in May of 2021 as an undrafted free agent and has appeared in three regular-season games, all of which came over the last two years with the Jets. Smith will be a part of the Steelers' 90-man roster when the offseason begins Feb. 9, which affords him the opportunity to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp.

The Patriots signed Smith to the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was waived from the Jets' practice squad Dec. 2. The former Jet may have a chance for a revenge game this Sunday, as the wide receiver is a prime candidate for practice squad elevation with Kayshon Boutte (concussion) and DeMario Douglas (hamstring) both nursing injuries ahead of the contest.

The Jets cut Smith from their practice squad Tuesday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding transaction, the Jets signed cornerback Samuel Womack to their practice squad. Smith was waived from the Jets' active roster back in October before re-signing with the practice squad mere days later, so he could be a candidate to be brought back into the organization at some point down the line.

The Jets waived Smith on Tuesday, Susanna Welr of the team's official site reports.

The Jets signed Smith from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's addition to the active roster corresponds with the Jets placing Josh Reynolds (hip) on injured reserve. Smith was elevated to the Jets' active roster for Week 6 against the Broncos and played 12 snaps on special teams without showing up on the box score otherwise. He'll give the Jets an additional body on special teams, but he could also be in the mix for snaps on offense against the Bengals on Sunday due to the absences of Reynolds and Garrett Wilson (knee).

Smith reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's 13-11 loss to the Broncos on Sunday, failing to record any stats while playing 12 snaps with the special-teams unit. With fellow wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) expected to miss a couple weeks, it's possible that Smith could be elevated again for New York's matchup with the Panthers in Week 7.

EDGE Analysis
It's Smith's first elevation of the season, and he is in line to make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Broncos on Sunday in London, England.
