Jonnu Smith Joins Steelers in Major Trade Shake-Up

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a significant splash in the trade market by acquiring tight end Jonnu Smith from the Miami Dolphins. This trade is part of a larger deal that also brings cornerback Jalen Ramsey to Pittsburgh and sends Minkah Fitzpatrick back to Miami. The Steelers gave up a 2027 fifth-round pick and Fitzpatrick to secure Ramsey, Smith, and a 2027 seventh-round pick.

Jonnu Smith: A Proven Talent

Jonnu Smith, now 29, is set to receive a one-year extension worth $12 million with the Steelers. This isn't his first time working with Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. They were previously teammates when Arthur was the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans and later when he was the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.

Standout Performance

Last season, Smith had a career-high performance:

• 88 receptions
• 884 receiving yards
• 8 touchdowns

This impressive season earned him his first Pro Bowl selection. Now, he's poised to team up with new quarterback Aaron Rodgers, which could further bolster the Steelers' offense.

A Bold Move for the Steelers

This trade underscores the Steelers' commitment to strengthening their roster. Adding Smith provides another reliable target for Rodgers and enhances their passing game. It's a bold move that could yield significant rewards for Pittsburgh.
