Steelers, Dolphins Execute Blockbuster NFL Trade Featuring Fitzpatrick, Ramsey, Smith

News summary

In a major NFL trade, the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith from the Miami Dolphins, sending safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a 2027 fifth-round draft pick to Miami. Fitzpatrick, a two-time Alabama national champion and three-time All-Pro safety, is returning to the Dolphins after five seasons with the Steelers, where his interception production declined in recent years. Ramsey, a seven-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro cornerback, will join the Steelers with a new contract boosting his 2025 salary to $26.6 million, while Smith received a one-year, $12 million contract extension with Pittsburgh following a career-best season. The trade represents a strategic move by the Steelers, who recently signed veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers and are aiming for a championship run. Fitzpatrick's return to Miami offers him a chance to revitalize his career in the final two years of his contract extension, while Smith brings proven tight end talent to a storied franchise. Additionally, Alabama's influence on the NFL remains strong, with former Crimson Tide players having collectively earned nearly $3 billion in career earnings, underscoring the program's significant impact on the professional league.
