Preston Smith, the veteran pass rusher, has officially been traded from the Green Bay Packers to the Pittsburgh Steelers after requesting a trade weeks earlier. Smith expressed his dissatisfaction with the Packers' new defensive scheme, which shifted from a 3-4 to a 4-3, making him feel less useful in his role. Now back in a system he is familiar with, Smith is eager to contribute to the Steelers' defense alongside stars like T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. Meanwhile, Mike Williams, another trade acquisition, is looking forward to a more significant role in Pittsburgh's offense.
