Schefter: Falcons will release tight end Jonnu Smith
According to Adam Schefter, the Atlanta Falcons will release tight end Jonnu Smith.
What It Means:
After playing just one season with Atlanta, Smith will head into free agency and attempt to join his fourth career team. Expect Smith to play a potential backup role for his new team while the Falcons will hopefully utilize Kyle Pitts with a full-time offensive snap percentage under their new coaching staff.
On 69 targets last season, Smith ranked 38th among tight ends with a 59.1 Pro Football Focus rating while accounting for 50 receptions for 582 yards and three touchdowns.
