Dolphins, Steelers Discuss Jonnu Smith Contract Trade

The Miami Dolphins are in trade discussions with the Pittsburgh Steelers regarding Pro Bowl tight end Jonnu Smith, who is seeking a reworked contract after setting franchise records for a tight end with 88 receptions, 884 yards, and eight touchdowns. Smith would prefer to remain in Miami with a new deal, but the Dolphins appear unwilling to meet his demands and have explored trading him. The Steelers' interest is fueled by offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who coached Jonnu Smith with the Titans and Falcons. Smith's departure would further deplete Miami's roster, which has already lost several veteran leaders, impacting their offensive depth. Any trade to Pittsburgh would likely involve a contract extension for Smith, even though the Steelers already have Pat Freiermuth under a lucrative deal. The situation remains fluid, and there is no guarantee a trade will occur.
