Breaking down Packers' trade of Preston Smith to Steelers
The Green Bay Packers are trading veteran edge rusher Preston Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft, according to multiple reports. The deadline deal sends an experienced pass-rusher from Green Bay to Pittsburgh while allowing the Packers — a contender in the NFC — to recoup the draft capital used to acquire quarterback Malik Willis and make changes in playing time at defensive end over the second half of 2024.
