Dolphins appear unlikely to trade Jonnu Smith to Steelers

Reports of the Dolphins trading tight end Jonnu Smith to the Steelers are unlikely to materialize. ESPN's Adam Schefter noted that while the trade was discussed, it isn't expected to proceed. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel emphasized Smith's importance to the team, dismissing the trade as a priority. Smith, who joined the Dolphins last year with a two-year deal, had a standout season with 88 catches and eight touchdowns, becoming their only Pro Bowler. Despite his success, he seeks a pay raise, potentially prompting a trade to a team ready to meet his salary demands. Although Smith's future with the Dolphins is uncertain, a move to Pittsburgh seems off the table.
