Steelers trade buzz burns bright — but flames out just as fast.
Insider Adam Schefter broke the news that the Dolphins and Steelers engaged in trade talks regarding Miami's Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith — and while it was surprising, insider Ian Rapoport believes it’s unlikely anything more will come of it.
In a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rapoport was asked how real the trade news really was — and here’s what he had to say:
“I think Jonnu Smith wants to make money,” Rapoport said. “He is actually a part of what the Dolphins want to do. It feels to me that he wants more money and would like to stay [with the Dolphins]. I know he wants a lot — we’ll see what [the Dolphins] end up doing.”
Hopefully nothing more comes out of the trade speculation, as Steelers TEs Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington are underrated pieces of Pittsburgh’s offense — and paying the soon-to-be 30-year-old Smith a massive extension makes zero sense for the Steel City brand of football.
