From the article

Smith was listed as the second-string tight end, ahead of both Josh Whyle and Mark Redman, on their first depth chart of the regular season. Head coach Matt LaFleur believes that Smith can hit the ground running in the regular season, not only because Smith previously played for LaFleur with the Tennessee Titans but also because Smith played for Arthur Smith, a former LaFleur assistant in Tennessee, in 2023 (Falcons) and 2025 (Steelers).

Smith signed as Packers' second-string tight end on a $2M deal with LaFleur familiarity.

Smith signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Packers (including $350K signing bonus, $1.3M game checks, and $350K in per-game roster bonuses). He was listed as the second-string tight end on the team's first regular-season depth chart, ahead of Josh Whyle and Mark Redman. Head coach Matt LaFleur believes Smith can hit the ground running due to prior familiarity: LaFleur coached Smith with the Tennessee Titans, and Smith played for Arthur Smith (a former LaFleur assistant) with the Falcons in 2023 and Steelers in 2025.
