THE Pittsburgh Steelers had discussions with the Miami Dolphins About the tight end Jonnu Smith,, According to ESPNIn an effort to acquire another talented passes sensor. This, after the Steelers exchanged George Pickens At Dallas Cowboys Earlier this month.
Smith was the only Miami bowler last season, and reported that discussions between the two parties began after Smith expressed interest in reproducing an agreement to pay him $ 4.8 million this season. Smith, whose preference reported is to stay in Miami in the context of a reworked contract, currently entered in the last year of a contract of $ 8.4 million over two years which he signed in March 2024.
The interest in Smith would at least have a certain meaning given its history with the offensive coordinator of Pittsburgh, Arthur Smith. Both spent two seasons with the Titans and another season with the Falconies In 2023. In 2020, the tight end caught a career summit of eight affected; In their lonely season with the Falcons, Smith then established careers in career with 50 receptions for 582 yards.
Last season, his first with the Dolphins, Smith enjoyed his best season to date. The 29 -year -old caught 88 of the 111 targets for 884 yards and eight affected. These three brands represent franchise records in a single season for a tight end.
While Pittsburgh already has a tight end in Pat FreiermuthSmith would certainly be used in the offensive scheme of Arthur Smith which is strongly based on the tight final position. If the Steelers carried out this business, Smith would still be another new offensive face for the Steelers, whose additions so far this offseason includes the pro Bowl Wideout twice DK Metcalf And the recruit backwards Kaleb Johnsonamong others.
Steelers also hope to sign Aaron Rodgerswhich remains unclear while Pittsburgh ends his first week of OTA.
