Steelers Trade Minkah Fitzpatrick to Dolphins for Jalen Ramsey

News summary

In a significant NFL trade, the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired cornerback Jalen Ramsey from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick, a five-time Pro Bowler who began his career with Miami before joining Pittsburgh in 2019, has been a key defensive player despite recent injuries and a dip in playmaking last season. The trade also involved Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith moving to the Steelers on a one-year $12 million extension, reuniting him with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Jonnu Smith had a career-best season with the Dolphins, catching 88 passes for 884 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024. Pittsburgh now faces the challenge of replacing Fitzpatrick's impact at safety, with speculation that Ramsey might transition from cornerback to safety, while the team also added versatile safety Juan Thornhill in free agency. This blockbuster deal reshapes the defenses of both teams and highlights the Steelers' efforts to strengthen their roster around quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
