Ramsey, Fitzpatrick Headline Major Steelers-Dolphins Trade

The Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers have completed a high-profile trade, sending cornerback Jalen Ramsey, tight end Jonnu Smith, and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Steelers in exchange for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a 2027 fifth-round pick. Ramsey, a former All-Pro, will receive a $1.5 million raise for a 2025 salary of $26.6 million, and Smith has secured a one-year, $12 million extension with the Steelers. Fitzpatrick returns to Miami, aiming to strengthen their secondary, while Pittsburgh gains a versatile defender in Ramsey and offensive depth with Smith. The move is seen as a significant roster shake-up for both teams ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Notably, former Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert criticized the Dolphins' management over their handling of Pro Bowl players following this trade. The deal has generated mixed reactions among fans and NFL analysts.
