BREAKING: Miami Dolphins Agree to Trade for Veteran Tight End Jonnu Smith from Pittsburgh Steelers
In a surprising mid-offseason move, the Miami Dolphins have reportedly agreed to trade terms with the Pittsburgh Steelers to acquire veteran tight end Jonnu Smith. The news comes as both teams look to solidify their rosters ahead of training camp.
Jonnu Smith, 28, brings experience, versatility, and athleticism to a Miami offense that continues to evolve under head coach Mike McDaniel. Known for his ability to stretch the field and block effectively in both the run and pass game, Smith adds a dynamic layer to the Dolphins’ already explosive offense featuring Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle.
Smith spent the 2023 season with the Steelers, where he served as a reliable red-zone target and a veteran presence in the locker room. Despite modest stats last year—posting 38 receptions for 407 yards and 3 touchdowns—his impact went beyond the numbers. With Pittsburgh undergoing a youth movement on offense, it appears they are clearing space for younger talent at the tight end position, such as Pat Freiermuth.
For the Dolphins, this trade could signal a shift in offensive strategy, possibly involving more two-tight-end sets or a stronger emphasis on short-yardage and red-zone efficiency, areas where Smith has historically thrived.
While the specific trade terms have not yet been disclosed, sources suggest Miami may have parted with a late-round draft pick and a conditional selection based on Smith’s performance.
This deal gives Miami added veteran depth and a reliable target in key situations, while the Steelers gain more flexibility as they continue to retool their offense. Official confirmation and further details are expected in the coming days.
