Freiermuth is coming off an efficient 2024 season in which he caught 83.3 percent of his 78 targets to set a career high with 65 catches. His seven TDs matched a career best from his 2021 rookie season while tying for fourth in the league among tight ends, and 653 receiving yards marked the second-highest total of his career behind the 2022 campaign. Freiermuth has dealt with a QB carousel throughout his pro career, but he's been a red-zone threat for every Pittsburgh signal-caller other than Kenny Pickett, scoring 16 TDs in his 37 regular-season games started by any other QB. The carousel spun again this offseason, with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields both leaving Pittsburgh and Aaron Rodgers signing in June. Another big change was at wide receiver, with the Steelers trading for DK Metcalf in March only to trade George Pickens in May. But the biggest change came in June when the Steelers traded for TE Jonnu Smith. The Steelers likely will employ a lot of two-TE sets, but Freiermuth's snap, route and target projections will take a hit in an offense that's unlikely to be pass-heavy under veteran coordinator Arthur Smith.
