Jonnu Smith

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Dolphins “have had trade discussions” with the Steelers regarding TE Jonnu Smith.

The talks reportedly occurred “after Smith expressed an interest in reworking his deal,” as he enters the final year of his contract. Schefter adds that “Smith’s preference, per sources, is to stay in Miami under a reworked deal.” Smith turns 30 years old in August, but set the franchise record for a tight end in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns in 2024. Should the Dolphins and Steelers come to a trade agreement, the move would reunite Smith with his 2023 Falcons offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith, who holds the same role with the Steelers. Smith caught 50-of-69 targets for 582 yards and three touchdowns that year, with the three former statistics marking then-career highs. Still, both he and the Dolphins would be better off with Smith remaining in Miami’s fantasy-friendly passing attack.
