Jonnu Smith’s future with the Miami Dolphins is in flux. Recently, reports emerged indicating that the Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers were discussing a potential trade involving Smith. The tight end has expressed a desire to adjust his contract terms. However, further updates from ESPN suggest that the Dolphins might not trade him, as his agent Drew Rosenhaus stated that Smith prefers to stay in Miami.
Interestingly, Adam Schefter of ESPN noted that the trade talks are still ongoing. While Smith prefers to remain with the Dolphins, he also seeks a raise from the $4.8 million he is set to earn this coming season. Smith set numerous franchise records for a tight end last year, achieving 88 receptions and 884 yards, along with eight touchdowns. Notably, only three tight ends achieved more receiving yards than him last season: Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, and George Kittle.
Rosenhaus emphasized, “Jonnu would definitely like to stay in Miami. That’s his first choice.” He also highlighted Smith’s pivotal role in the Dolphins and his long-standing love for the team. Meanwhile, the Steelers are exploring various options to improve their roster, especially with Aaron Rodgers’ future still uncertain. They’ve also shown interest in former Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis, who recently became available.
