Packers Add Depth at Tight End by Signing Veteran Jonnu Smith to 1-Year Deal
Jonnu Smith gives Green Bay an experienced option behind Tucker Kraft after Luke Musgrave’s neck injury left the Packers thin at tight end.
On Thursday, the Green Bay Packers signed veteran tight end Jonnu Smith to a 1-year deal, as confirmed by NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
Green Bay sought reinforcements after tight end Luke Musgrave sustained a neck injury during minicamp, while starter Tucker Kraft recovers from a torn ACL.
Smith, a nine-year NFL veteran, has recorded 345 career receptions for 3,531 yards and 30 touchdowns, serving as a safety-valve receiver capable of turning short passes into gains.
Last season, Smith caught 38 passes for 222 yards with the Pittsburgh Steelers; he now joins quarterback Jordan Love to provide a new weapon for the Packers.
Entering his 10th NFL season, Smith aims to recapture his 2024 Pro Bowl form with the Miami Dolphins, with the one-year deal providing Green Bay a low-risk veteran option.
