Dolphins Trade Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith to Steelers for Minkah Fitzpatrick

In a surprising blockbuster trade, the Miami Dolphins sent star cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who returns to the Dolphins franchise that originally drafted him. The trade also involved draft picks and has been described as one of the wildest in recent NFL history, significantly altering the rosters and competitive outlook of both teams. Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill reacted emotionally on social media, posting a GIF of an empty room from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, symbolizing the loss of key teammates and suggesting his own possible dissatisfaction and future trade speculation. Former Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert criticized the Dolphins' treatment of star players amid this roster overhaul. The move signals Miami's intent to realign the organization for future competitiveness following a disappointing 2024 season, while Pittsburgh's defense becomes more formidable with the additions of Ramsey and Smith. Overall, the trade underscores a period of significant transition for Miami and a strengthening of Pittsburgh's roster.
