Green Bay Packers reveal salary cap terms for tight end Jonnu Smith
Summary

The Green Bay Packers released the contract details for tight end Jonnu Smith, who signed a one-year deal with the team earlier this month. The agreement carries a maximum value of $2 million, consisting of a $350,000 signing bonus, $1.3 million in base salary, and $350,000 in per-game roster bonuses. Because Smith played in every game for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, the NFL considers his roster bonuses likely to be earned, resulting in a full $2 million cap charge for the Packers. Smith previously played for head coach Matt LaFleur with the Tennessee Titans and is listed as the team's second-string tight end on the initial regular season depth chart. The veteran joins the roster ahead of Josh Whyle and Mark Redman as the Packers prepare for the current campaign.
