Jonnu Smith Joins Steelers in Major Trade Shake-Up

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a big move by bringing in tight end Jonnu Smith from the Miami Dolphins. This trade is part of a larger deal that also involves cornerback Jalen Ramsey coming to Pittsburgh and Minkah Fitzpatrick heading back to Miami. The Steelers gave up a 2027 fifth-round pick and Fitzpatrick to get Ramsey, Smith, and a 2027 seventh-round pick. Jonnu Smith, who is 29 years old, is getting a one-year extension worth $12 million with the Steelers. This isn't the first time he's worked with Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. They've been teammates before when Arthur was the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans and later when he was the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Last season, Smith had a standout year. He caught 88 passes for 884 yards and scored eight touchdowns, which was a career high for him. This performance earned him his first Pro Bowl selection. Now, he's set to team up with new quarterback Aaron Rodgers, which could make the Steelers' offense even stronger. This trade shows that the Steelers are serious about improving their team. Adding Smith gives them another reliable target for Rodgers and strengthens their passing game. It's a bold move that could pay off big for Pittsburgh.
